AB  - OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the value of Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) in geratic 
      patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and analyze the 
      correlation of MNA scores with BODE indexes. METHODS: A total of 139 geratic 
      outpatients with stable COPD admitted from April 2012 to October 2012 were 
      enrolled. The nutritional statuses of the patients were assessed using MNA and 
      the patients were subsequently classified into well-nourished group, risk of 
      malnutrition group and malnutrition group. For all the patients, the 
      anthropometric parameters, pulmonary function and 6-minute-walk distance (6MWD) 
      were examined, and functional dyspnea was evaluated using Modified Medical 
      Research Council Scale (MMRC). The BODE indexes were calculated and analyzed for 
      their correlation with the MNA scores. RESULTS: The 3 groups showed no 
      significant differences in gender distribution (P>0.05), but their age, 
      anthropometric parameters and BODE indexes (BMI, MMRC, 6MWD, FEV1%pred) differed 
      significantly (P<0.001). In all the patients, MNA scores showed a significant 
      inverse correlation with BODE index (r=-0.602; P<0.001). CONCLUSION: MNA scores 
      are strongly correlated with the anthropometrical parameters and BODE indexes to 
      allow screening of the nutritional status in patients with COPD. Nutrition is an 
      important factor affecting the disease symptoms, and nutritional improvement is 
      one of the effective measures to relieve the symptoms of COPD.
