Sponsor's own description

Background: Dysphagia is frequently observed in subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). But tongue strength has not been investigated yet in COPD subjects. The investigators hypothesized that tongue strength is weaker in COPD subjects compared to normal subjects. Methods: This was a single-centre, observational, and cross-sectional study. Twenty-seven subjects with COPD and twenty-four age-matched control subjects were enrolled in this study. Isometric tongue strength was measured using a device fitted with a disposable oral balloon probe. The investigators also evaluated handgrip strength, gait speed, and appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) to define participants as having sarcopenia. ASM, fat free mass index (FFMI), and skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) were measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis. Gait speed was measured using the 6-meter walking test. The eating assessment test-10 (EAT-10) was used to diagnose dysphagia.
