Age really doesn't have a whole lot to do with it. It really does just depend on the lung damage. Considering that there's a limited amount of space inside the body, the barrel-chestedness may level off.

Here's a link to something I've written on a similar topic--posture. Maybe this will be a source of additional information for you.
