Airway wall thickness on HRCT scans decreases with age and increases with smoking
BACKGROUND: To investigate if age, gender and smoking are associated with airway wall thickness (AWT) measured by high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and if higher AWT is associated with lower levels of pulmonary function in healthy current- and never-smokers with a wide age range. METHODS: H...
