Additional body mass generally means higher oxygen requirement, but upper body mass can restrict the expansion of the lungs, decreasing the volume of air that enters with each breath. So since more oxygen is needed, and less oxygen is inhaled, breathing rate generally increases.

∙ 15y agothis is just a thought, but maybe heavier people breath faster and harder because their lungs are compressed more (fat build up).

Does height affect pulse rate?
Height does not affect pulse rate kthanks.
Does the environment changes affect the breathing rate?
yes . . depending on availability of oxygen, breathing rate changes
Will salt affect the breathing rate of a goldfish?
yes, it will
Does low potassium affect breathing and heart rate?
yes
Does your breathing rate affect the digestive system?
Yes it does.
What gas does the body monitor that can then affect the rate of breathing?
Carbon dioxide
Does gender affect cellular respiration?
No. What you may be thinking of is aerobic respiration (normal breathing), for which the breathing rate (as well as heart rate) is typically a bit slower in men.
How does size affect the breathing rate of tropical fish?
The smaller the size of a tropical fish the faster their breathing rate will be. The smallest fish will have the fastest breathing rates.
How are your breathing rate and pulse rate related?
The breathing rate and pulse rate are related proportionally. If the breathing rate increases, so does the pulse rate. The pulse rate is an indication of the breathing rate.
Does the attitude of an area affects the breathing rate?
Yes the altitude of the area does affect the breathing rate becaue the higher you go the lower the air pressure and the the lower you go the lower the air pressure.
How does heart rate affect breathing?
Heart rate and breathing are closely linked through a process called cardiorespiratory coupling. An increase in heart rate can signal the body to adjust breathing rate and depth to maintain balance. This synchronization helps regulate oxygen intake and carbon dioxide elimination to support the body's energy needs during physical activity or stress.
How do people die doing drugs?
Some drugs affect heart rate or breathing and this cause deaths.
