Description: 

Researchers at the University of Verona studied the relationship between body mass and lung function in older men and found a strong relationship between body composition, fat distribution, and lung function in elderly men. Researchers concluded that a small reduction in body mass might lead to significant improvement in lung function. The study was published in the April issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
