Frailty negatively impacts lung function, survival in patients with IPF
Significant predictors of FVC and diffusion capacity of lung for carbon monoxide included frailty, low fat-free mass index and sarcopenia in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, according to data published in Respiratory Research.Additionally, the risk for mortality was significantly heightened with frailty but not with low fat-free mass index (FFMI) or sarcopenia, according to
