Possible mechanisms underlying the development of cachexia in COPD.

The European respiratory journal - 1 Mar 2008

Wagner P D

Abstract excerpt

About 25% of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) will develop cachexia (fat-free body mass index <17 kg.m(-2) (males) or <14 kg.m(-2) (females)). This is associated with approximately 50% reduction in median survival. The pathogenetic mechanism has been variously suggested...
