Quadriceps wasting and physical inactivity in patients with COPD.
Quadriceps weakness is an important complication of advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but few data exist concerning muscle bulk in early disease. We hypothesised that quadriceps bulk, measured by ultrasound rectus femoris cross-sectional area (USRF(CSA)), would be reduced in mild, as well as advanced, COPD compared with controls, and would correlate with physical activity. 1...
متن کاملPhysical inactivity and arterial stiffness in COPD
BACKGROUND Arterial stiffness is an important predictor of cardiovascular risk besides classic cardiovascular risk factors. Previous studies showed that arterial stiffness is increased in patients with COPD compared to healthy controls and exercise training may reduce arterial stiffness. Since physical inactivity is frequently observed in patients with COPD and exercise training may improve art...

Physical inactivity in COPD and increased patient perception of dyspnea
OBJECTIVE To study patients' levels of exercise activity and the clinical characteristics that relate to physical activity and inactivity among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS A postal questionnaire was administered to 719 patients with COPD in 2010; patients were recruited from the Helsinki and Turku University Central Hospitals in Finland and have been fo...
متن کاملCatabolic/anabolic balance and muscle wasting in patients with COPD.
BACKGROUND The mechanisms leading to muscle wasting in patients with COPD are still uncertain. This study was undertaken to evaluate the relationships among circulating levels of catabolic factors (ie, interleukin [IL]-6 and cortisol), anabolic factors (ie, bioavailable testosterone [Tbio], dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate [DHEAS], and insulin-like growth factor [IGF]-I), and mid-thigh muscle cro...
