  Introduction: Overweight and obesity (as measured by body mass index, BMI) are highly prevalent in the former WTC workers, and significantly associated with adverse lower respiratory outcomes. We investigated whether quantitative CT (QCT) metrics of visceral adiposity were more predictive of a defined adverse respiratory outcome than BMI. Methods: We tested for association between FEV1 below the predicted lower limit of normal (FEV1
