Impact of increasing overweight and obesity on breathlessness: a review

Abstract

Obesity is strongly associated with breathlessness and likely contributes through combined mechanical, metabolic, and ventilatory factors. Treatment remains centred on weight loss, but the evidence is scarce. Future work should prioritize breathlessness-specific outcomes in obesity interventions.
