Figures & data

Table 1 Basic characteristics comparing the subjects with and without COPD among females and males, respectively

Figure 1 HGS (mean, kg) stratified by sex in subjects with non-COPD and COPD by GOLD grades (bars represent 95% CIs).

Note: *P<0.05 when comparing the subjects with GOLD 3–4 with the subjects with non-COPD.
Abbreviations: HGS, hand grip strength; GOLD, Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease; CI, confidence interval.
