Are you treating people with COPD and/or designing exercise intervention protocols for this population?

How do you adapt training when clinically relevant comorbidities are present?

Theoretical framework illustrating the potential impact of body composition on COPD exacerbation risk; from our latest editorial in @RespirologyAPSR @Machado_FVC https://t.co/qWQ7SJak62

[The Lancet @TheLancet]

Over 1 billion people live with #obesity. There is an urgent need for a universal definition & diagnosis.

🆕 A @TheLancetEndo Commission introduces a new model with categories: clinical obesity (an illness) & pre-clinical obesity. This reframing identifies medically meaningful targets for prevention & treatment.

Although vitamin D insufficiency is more prevalent in COPD patients than controls, vitamin D status is not related to body composition or changes in body weight and composition over time. https://t.co/eJMfpBcWIz

🚨 Is this THE most important screening you aren't doing? 🦴🧐

#NEW BJSM Blog: Sarcopenia and the SARC-F

What is the importance of this screening tool, particularly in primary care? And significance of resistance exercise in management?

Would you like to know more about how to combine exercise training and nutritional/pharmacological treatments to enhance exercise capacity and body composition in patients with COPD? https://t.co/bQM8Ikd57I

[Dominique Hansen, PhD @hansen_phd]

'just #walk a bit more' = clinically ineffective in patients with #heart failure
Hence, #exercise prescription in cardiovascular disease requires much more precision and personalization...
An excellent study from the WATCHFUL researchers
