      impedance and anthropometry].
PG  - 665-70
AB  - Malnutrition is associated with poor prognosis in patients with chronic 
      obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Body weight is not a reliable evaluation 
      criterium. Body composition which is more useful can be determined routinely 
      using 2 techniques: skinfold thickness anthropometry (Ant) and bioelectrical 
      impedance analysis (BIA). The validity of this last technique has not been 
      demonstrated in patients with COPD. Fat-free mass (FFM) in 58 patients (51 men, 7 
      women) with stable COPD (FEV1 < 50% of predicted value) was assessed using the 
      4-skinfold-thickness method (Ant) and BIA (Imp). Statistical analysis included 
      correlation analysis, intraclass correlation coefficient, and the Bland and 
      Altman analysis. Imp-FFM and Ant-FFM correlated well (r = 0.920; p < 0.0001). 
      Intraclass correlation coefficient was high (rI = 0.9065). However, the values 
      were scattered and there was a systematic bias (significant linear regression 
      between the difference in estimates obtained by the 2 methods and the means). As 
      anthropometric measurements are not reliable in the elderly patients, our results 
      suggest that BIA could be a useful tool to determine FFM in patients with COPD. 
      Its validity still has to be tested against a reference method.
