Diet, visceral adiposity, and impaired lung function in postmenopausal women: a mediation analysis
Among postmenopausal women, a healthier, less inflammatory diet is associated with lower odds of PRISm, partly explained by lower levels of visceral adiposity and insulin resistance. These findings suggest that dietary patterns associated with lower visceral adiposity may be relevant for lung health preservation during the menopausal transition.
