Risk factors associated with the detection of pulmonary emphysema in older asymptomatic respiratory subjects

2020-03-11

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background: Several lung structural and functional abnormalities may occur associated withaging, including emphysema. In this study, we evaluated the frequency and risk factors associated with emphysema in respiratory asymptomatic individuals enrolled in our Lung Aging Program. From a cohort of 687 subjects, we found by high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) 29 individuals (4%) with...
