Antigravity muscle density on computed tomography and health-related independence in normal weight patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Abstract Background Low body mass index (BMI) is a prognostic factor, and skeletal muscle adiposity may affect mortality irrespective of BMI in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the association between muscle adiposity and healthy life expectancy in normal-weight p...
