Özet

Objective: Although malnutrition (body mass index (BMI)<18.5kg/m2) has been associated with impaired health status in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the effects of body composition (body fat and protein percentage) in patients with COPD have not been clearly demonstrated.
