Physical Activity, Exercise Capacity, and Body Composition in U.S. Veterans with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

TL;DR: In this article , the authors used dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to assess body composition in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to determine whether DXA-assessed muscle (lean) and fat mass exhibit differential correlations with exercise capacity and physical activity (PA) in subjects with COPD.

Sedentary Time and Cognitive Impairment in Patients Using Long-Term Oxygen Therapy: A Cross-Sectional Study

TL;DR: Sedentary time in patients on long-term oxygen therapy was associated with dyspnea and cognitive impairment, and the factors associated with sedentary time were confirmed by multiple regression analysis.

Data Reproducibility and Effectiveness of Bronchodilators for Improving Physical Activity in COPD Patients.

TL;DR: In all seven reports in which adjustment was performed for at least two of four influencing factors, bronchodilators showed beneficial effects on PA, suggesting that the processing of influencing factors to secure reproducibility might affect the results regarding the effectiveness of bronchidilators for improving PA in COPD patients.

The Body-Mass Index, Airflow Obstruction, Dyspnea, and Exercise Capacity Index in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

TL;DR: The BODE index, a simple multidimensional grading system, is better than the FEV1 at predicting the risk of death from any cause and from respiratory causes among patients with COPD.

Salmeterol and fluticasone propionate and survival in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

TL;DR: The reduction in death from all causes among patients with COPD in the combination-therapy group did not reach the predetermined level of statistical significance, and there were significant benefits in all other outcomes among these patients.
