Pectoralis muscle area and mortality in smokers without airflow obstruction
BACKGROUND: Low muscle mass is associated with increased mortality in the general population but its prognostic value in at-risk smokers, those without expiratory airflow obstruction, is unknown. We aimed to test the hypothesis that reduced muscle mass is associated with increased mortality in at-ri...
