This 30-year longitudinal study showed that a nutritionally rich plant-centered diet was associated with a slower age-related decline in lung function. This is important as it highlights diet quality as a potential treatable trait which supports long term lung health. Co-authors George Washko, Ravi Kalhan, Jing Gennie Wang, and Sonali Bose are Airways Clinical Research Centers investigators.
