A member asked:
What percentage of older americans exhibit restricted breathing patterns?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Moderate: I am not sure that there is any published data on the incidence of restrictive lung disease. With rising obesity rates in the us there has been an increase in the prevalence of airflow restriction. Obesity limits the ability of the diaphragm to contract and keeps the total lung capacity low.
