Effects of body mass index on task-related oxygen uptake and dyspnea during activities of daily life in COPD.

<h4>Background</h4>Patients with COPD use a higher proportion of their peak aerobic capacity during the performance of domestic activities of daily life (ADLs) compared to healthy peers, accompanied by a higher degree of task-related symptoms. To date, the influence of body mass index (B...

Relative oxygen uptake and oxygen uptake per kilogram fat-free mass were comparable between BMI groups; and 3.
