Harvard Professor of Medicine Scott T. Weiss, a co-author on the study, said that “the longitudinal character of the study is significant, because it allowed us to observe changing lung function over time, whereas the previous studies of this sort conducted were cross-sectional and therefore limited to the present state.” According...
