The ability of physical activity in reducing mortality risks and cardiovascular loading and in extending life expectancy in patients with COPD
Abstract For chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the role of physical activity in reducing COPD mortality and heart loading and in extending life expectancy remains unclear. Participants in comprehensive medical screening were recruited with spirometry on everyone. We analyzed physical act...
