When curvature is severe and located in the thoracic and cervical regions, scoliosis can impinge on the space that houses the heart and lungs. In severe cases, lung or heart capacity can be compromised, causing shortness of breath or heart problems, thereby necessitating more aggressive treatment. When scoliosis deforms the ribs, this can cause similar problems. In very severe cases, patients with diminished lung capacity must use supplemental oxygen.
Exercising increases the lung capacity.
Yes, gender does affect lung capacity. Other factors that affect lung capacity include age, weight, height and level of fitness.
decrease -
Lung capacity can not be increased by a disorder.
My tidal lung capacity was lower. I know the difference because in the tidal lung capacity you are taking in less breath. When you are doing the vital lung capacity, you take in more breath.
it has lung cancer
Your total lung capacity is the total volume of the lung after maximum inspiration. (average 6 litres).
The lungs and heart, when diseased or injured could decrease lung capacity. Obesity would also reduce lung capacity
Factors such as gender, physical fitness, age, height, and weight can all affect lung capacity. This page offers an explanation on how they affect it: http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/2003-04/1050155434.An.r.html
The lung capacity of a bovine (or "cow") is 12,400 mL or 12.4 L.

The lungs are the organs used in breathing. It is not known what the lung capacity of a pig is.
