Popis: Background Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is essential for assessing the maximal exercise capacity of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and for developing rehabilitation prescriptions. Body composition has been shown to be associated with CPET results, which is complex, time-consuming, contraindicated, and risky, and cannot be performed in some COPD patients, whereas body composition analysis is simple and fast. Objective This paper focuses on the correlation between body composition and CPET in patients with COPD, and provides a basis for predicting maximal exercise capacity, formulating rehabilitation prescriptions, and rational nutritional support for patients with COPD who are unable to complete cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Methods Stable COPD patients were enrolled in the outpatient respiratory clinic of China-Japan Friendship Hospital between July 2021 and March 2022, and were sequentially subjected to body composition measurements and CPET with continuous incremental loading, and the test results were analyzed to assess the relationship between body composition and CPET results, and to analyze the value of the body composition indexes in predicting the results of CPET. Results Seventy-seven eligible patients with stable COPD completed body composition measurement and exercise cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Correlation analysis showed that body fat percentage (BFP) was negatively correlated with peak metabolic equivalents (peakMETs) (P
