Aging-BC_Biomarker

BIOMARKER INFORMATION
Biomarker	Waist to Height Ratio (WHtR)
Category	Independent Events
Affected targets	Lung Aging
Hallmarks	Other
Molecular	Other
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
EXPERIMENT INFORMATION
Region	Spain
Race	multiple racial
Samples	1901
Age	45.1/41.6
Gender	926/975
Application	Functional
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.
