Thoracic expansion measurements have been used as a diagnostic tool to evaluate chest wall mobility, respiratory function, and the effects of respiratory muscle strength training. Changes in chest wall mobility may occur because of altered chest biomechanics in individuals with respiratory diseases and an elevated body mass index (BMI). The purpose of this secondary analysis was to evaluate whether BMI influences thoracic expansion or forced expiratory volume over 1 second (FEV1) in individuals with persistent dyspnea following COVID-19. This study assessed the relationship between BMI and thoracic expansion, pulmonary symptoms, and exercise capacity following a home-based pulmonary rehabilitation intervention. A secondary data analysis was conducted with a sample of 19 adults with persistent dyspnea following COVID-19 infection who participated in a 12-week, home-based pulmonary rehabilitation study. Participants received expiratory muscle strength training devices and were instructed to perform pulmonary rehabilitation exercises three times per week over the study period. Pulmonary function, pulmonary symptoms, exercise capacity, and BMI measurements were collected. For analysis, study participants were divided into obese (BMI > 30 kg/m<sup>2</sup>) or nonobese (BMI < 30 kg/m<sup>2</sup>) categories. Correlations using the change scores from baseline to 12 weeks between thoracic expansion, FEV1, pulmonary symptoms, and exercise capacity were assessed. In addition, the minimal detectable change (MDC) in thoracic expansion was explored. Thoracic expansion was significantly improved after 12 weeks of training (<i>p</i> = .012) in the nonobese group.

While theories involving healthcare inequity and political division have emerged to explain this observation, the role of chronic stress and inflammation is also being explored. Toxic stress is experienced disproportionately by race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status and increases frailty and vulnerability to diseases such as COVID-19. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a biomarker associated with the inflammatory response that is typically elevated due to exposure to acute or chronic traumatic stress, as well as COVID-19. This study explored the relationship between CRP and Hispanic/non-Hispanic ethnicity among adults hospitalized with COVID-19 via a secondary analysis of retrospective electronic health record (EHR) data collected from a community healthcare system in Southern California. A total of 1,744 cases representing hospitalized adults with COVID-19 were reviewed. Data were extracted from the EHR to reflect demographics, medical diagnoses, medications, CRP, and comorbidity burden. Frequencies, percentages, and measures of central tendency were assessed to understand the distribution of data.
