Low lung function in the developing world is analogous to stunting: a review of the evidence

2020-11-18

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Low vital capacity, one of the consequences of restricted lung growth, is a strong predictor of cardiovascular mortality. Vital capacity is lower in the developing world than the developed world, even after adjusting for height, weight and gender. This difference is typically dismissed as ethnic variation, adjusted for by redefining normal. Whether this is a consequence of stunted lung growth...
