Weight loss program for people with COPD and obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a weight reduction program can improve health outcomes for people who have both COPD and obesity. By helping with weight loss, the hope is to ease breathing symptoms and improve daily function.
