Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: While low body mass index (BMI) is associated with emphysema and obesity is associated with airway disease in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the underlying mechanisms are unclear. OBJECTIVES: To examine the association between BMI-related genetic variants and emphysema and airway disease imaging phenotypes. METHODS: We aggregated genetic variants from population-based genome-wide...
