Abstract
Although WC is associated with restrictive effects on baseline lung function, increased BMI, rather than WC, predisposes to airway closure during bronchoconstriction. These findings suggest that obesity predisposes to airway closure during bronchoconstriction through mechanisms other than simple mass loading.
