The COPD patient population is susceptible to the onset of weight loss. The presence of this feature carries significant negative prognostic implications. Whether weight loss contributes to or is simply a marker of disease severity remains to be determined. Weight loss appears to result from an imbalance of metabolic demand and supply. The factors which produce this imbalance require further investigation.
