The Significance of Relative Fat Mass in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Prevalence and Severity: Evidences From Two Cohorts
RFM was positively associated with the prevalence of COPD but inversely associated with its severity. Specifically, RFM predicted COPD prevalence more accurately in individuals aged 40-60 and smokers, while it predicted COPD severity more effectively in those aged ≥ 60.
