Popis: Abstract Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive disease associated with high mortality. Low muscle mass, frailty and sarcopenia lead to functional impairment that negatively impact quality of life and survival but are not used in clinical practice. We aimed to determine the association of Fat-free mass index (FFMI) and frailty with lung function, exercise tolerance and survival in patients with IPF. In this study, 70 patients with IPF underwent assessment of body composition, lung function, 6-min walk distance (6MWD) testing, hand grip strength, quality of life (QoL) assessment by St. George’s Respiratory questionnaire (SGRQ) and frailty assessment using the SHARE-FI tool. FFMI was calculated using pectoralis muscle cross-sectional area (PM-CSA) on CT chest images and the lowest quartile defined reduced muscle mass. Sarcopenia was defined as low FFMI and handgrip strength. Regression analyses were conducted to determine predictive value of frailty, low FFMI and sarcopenia on clinical outcomes. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the impact of FFMI and frailty score on survival. The mean age was 70 years with moderate impairment in lung function (mean ppFVC 68.5%, ppDLCO 45.6%). Baseline forced vital capacity (p
