ILA have been associated with age, many environmental and genetic risk factors and pulmonary symptoms of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis [1, 2]. ILA have also been associated with reduced exercise capacity and self-reported health and function [3–5].Reductions in objectively measured physical function are associated with interstitial lung abnormalities http://ow.ly/azAW30kMhqv ER -
