Body mass index and mortality in patients with severe alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency.

Respiratory medicine - 1 Feb 1997

Seersholm N

Abstract excerpt

It appears that patients with advanced stages of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and particularly emphysema, lose weight and have higher mortality even after controlling for lung function. In the present study, mortality of alpha 1-antitrypsin-deficiency patients PiZ as a function of body mass index (BMI) with control for FEV1, sex and smoking habits was studied. A total of 342 patients participated with a...
