Fig. 2.
Exhaled breath particles as a function of BMI-years for volunteers reporting age and BMI (n = 146). Results for low spreaders (black dots) and superspreaders (red dots) are shown. Low spreaders appear within the full range of BMI-years while superspreaders are predominantly with BMI-years above 650, reflecting a statistically significant correlation (P < 0.015) between larger exhaled aerosol for those of higher BMI-years (>650) (P < 0.015). The trend lines are without statistical significance.
