Relation between physical capacity, nutritional status and systemic inflammation in COPD

Abstract: Background: Decreased physical capacity, weight loss, fat-free mass depletion and systemic inflammation are frequently observed in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Objective: Our aim was to examine relations between physical capacity, nutritional status, systemic inflammation and disease severity in COPD. Method: Forty nine patients with moderate to severe COPD were included in the study. Spirometry was preformed. Physical capacity was determined by a progressive symptom limited cycl… Show more

“…It associates with important clinical variables (FEV 1 % predicted, exacerbation frequency and mMRC grade)19 and strongly correlates with the St George’s Respiratory Questionnaire 20. The most plausible explanation for the association of CRP with CAT scores is its implication in the systemic inflammatory process in COPD, and particularly its association with physical capacity5,21,22 and depression symptoms 23…”

“…A BMI <21 kg·m −2 is associated with significantly worse clinical outcomes [39]. Muscle or fat-free mass measurements may be even better predictors of clinical outcomes [223,224]. Acute involuntary weight loss is also important.…”

“…This is in accordance with our findings, which also revealed significant difference between the coursed distance by the patients with COPD and the predicted distance in ISWT. These physical ability results have been considered to be essentially important to express the functional capacity of patients with COPD, according to literature 7,13,14 .…”
