  1. BMI = Body Mass Index; BODE = BMI (B), airflow obstruction (O) as measured by the post-bronchodilator FEV1 (percentage of predicted value), dyspnoea (D) assessed by the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) score, and exercise tolerance (E) measured by 6-minute walking distance; FEV1 = Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second; SGRQ-C = St. Georges respiratory questionnaire for COPD patients. Values expressed as mean (standard deviation) or as percentage.
