Aerobic moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) is recommended for individuals with chronic diseases. However, the association between resistance training (RT) in addition to moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sleep duration, as well as respiratory symptoms, in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has not been thoroughly investigated. This population-based cross-sectional study used data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 2014 and 2019...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) combined with malnutrition results in decreased exercise capacity and a worse quality of life. We aimed to develop an observational case-control study to explore the effective and convenient method to identify potential individuals is lacking. This study included data from 251 patients with COPD and 85 participants in the control group. Parameters and body composition were compared between groups, and among patients with varied severity. The LASSO approach was employed to select the features for fitting a logistic model to predict the risk of malnutrition in patients with stable COPD...

OBJECTIVE: Numerous articles and reviews addressing the intersection of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) with sarcopenia have been documented. However, a significant gap exists in the literature concerning scientometric analysis in this field. This study aimed to concentrate on recent research and elucidate emerging research areas through the examination of COPD with sarcopenia.
