Die Lunge älterer Menschen

There is no doubt that knowledge about human aging currently represents an important point in all areas of healthcare. Today, we are witnessing an exponential aging of the population, both in developing and industrialized countries. It is a fact that humanity is reaching a greater age, which increasingly motivates studies on this new demographic profile, primarily focusing on the quality of life in all scenarios of the new elderly population. Therefore, expanding knowledge about the physiological changes of the aging lung and their effects on functional and imaging tests, which are not associated with comorbidities, has significant and notable clinical implications for the healthcare sector and the general public.
