Impact of dynapenia, presarcopenia and sarcopenia in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a prospective cohort study
Aside from sarcopenia, both presarcopenia and dynapenia are not associated with an increased risk of mortality in COPD. However, patients with dynapenia experience significant functional deterioration, while those with presarcopenia present with more severe exercise-induced desaturation. Identifying each phenotype is crucial for the holistic management of COPD.
