    Previous research has shown that despite less exposure to smog, women have more impaired lung function and a higher risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease than men


    Obesity has been shown to affect the risk of these obstructive airways and may lead to decreased lung function

    The researchers concluded that high BMI and waist circumference significantly increased the risk of COPD and asthma, regardless of menopausal status
