Obesity does not simply change the epidemiology of pulmonary disease; obesity has a profound impact on the pathophysiology of common pulmonary diseases.

All the relevant conditions, in the context of obesity, are covered, includingAairway inflammation, sleep apnea, asthma, pulmonary hypertension, obesity hypoventilation, as well as others.
