Description |
Several studies have shown in recent years that insulin resistance and MetS could be associated with alterations in lung function. This has been observed both in subjects with established respiratory pathologies and in healthy populations, and it is associated with the development of asthma, restrictive diseases or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease |

Conclusion |
Mets caused an accelerated lung aging and favored the presence of restrictive lung impairment. in addition, whtr ≥ 0.55 has been shown as the best predictor for pulmonary health. |
