Challenging the obesity paradox: extreme obesity and COPD mortality in the SUMMIT trial
Abstract
Populations with COPD demonstrate higher survival in overweight and obese compared with normal weight; the "obesity paradox". Relationships in less-severe COPD are unclear, as is the impact of cardiovascular risk, and few studies include individuals at extremes of obesity.
