The purpose of this study is to evaluate Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) in postmenopausal women.METHODS:
Digital Spirometer was used to measure PFTs in premenopausal (n = 49) and postmenopausal (n = 46) women.RESULTS:
Significant decline in many PFT parameters was observed.CONCLUSIONS:
Menopausal status is associated with low lung function.
