Frequency and functional translation of low muscle mass in overweight and obese patients with COPD

Respiratory Research, 2021
Background Cut offs for fat-free mass index (FFMI) and appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI) are available for diagnosing low muscle mass in patients with COPD. This study aimed to investigate: (1) the frequency of low muscle mass (FFMI and ASMI)

Restricted spirometry and cardiometabolic comorbidities: results from the international population based BOLD study

Respiratory Research, 2022
Background Whether restricted spirometry, i.e. low Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), predicts chronic cardiometabolic disease is not definitely known. In this international population-based study, we assessed the relationship between restricted spirometry and
