Summary

COPD outpatients with severe and very severe (grade III-IV) disease at risk of malnutrition commencing rehabilitation (7-10-week physical activity program) were randomized to receive a high protein diet (≥ 25 energy percentage) or standard care.

Detailed description

Peripheral muscle function was measured by 6MWD (6-meter-walk-distance) and handgrip strength; FFM was measured by bioimpedance, mid upper arm circumference, and mid-thigh circumference; quality of life was measured by CAT (????); and dyspnoea was measured by the Medical Research Council dyspnoea scale and Borg scores at baseline and after 12 weeks.

Conditions

• COPD

Interventions
