Conclusions;Conclusions;

Weight loss and reductions in FFM are important predictors of disease progression, resulted in reductions in exercise capacity, increases in mortality and morbidities in COPD patients .

Nutritional support reverses the effects of hypermetabolism and negative energy balance that resulted weight loss.

With the addition of high caloric main menu,enteral nutrients must be used small sized porsions but frequantly in stable COPD patients.
