Abstract
In smokers, the lung parenchyma is characterized by inflammation and emphysema, processes that can result in local gain and loss of lung tissue. CT measures of lung density might reflect lung tissue changes; however, longitudinal data regarding the effects of CT lung tissue on FEV1 in smokers with and without COPD are scarce.The 15th percentile of CT lung density was obtained from the scans of 3,390 smokers who completed baseline and 5-year...
