Frailty in COPD: An analysis of prevalence and clinical impact using UK Biobank

Disease Areas:
COPD, Population study
Device Types:
Pneumotrac, Spirotrac

This study used data from the UK Biobank to evaluate the prevalence and impact of frailty in 3132 individuals with COPD aged 40–70 years. COPD severity was based on spirometric data (FEV1) collected in a primary care setting; in the absence of such data, information was retrieved from the UK Biobank baseline lung function assessment, which was obtained using a Vitalograph Pneumotrac spirometer.
