Here we aimed to compare 6-min walk distance (6MWD) between high low GNRI groups patients with COPD. Methods We enrolled 63 elderly men These subjects were divided into two based on their scores: group (≥92 points; n = 44) ( = 19); compared 6MWD these groups. Results subjects' characteristics similar, except BMI serum albumin levels. significantly lower in (279.5 ± 112.3 m versus 211.1 125.3 m; p = 0.03). Conclusions has more close relation exercise tolerance may be useful assessment scale
