objective: to determine whether the body mass index, airway obstruction, dyspnea, and exercise capacity (bode) index correlates with health-related quality of life in patients with copd. methods: we evaluated 42 patients with copd, quantifying the following: lung function parameters; anthropometric variables; exercise capacity, with the six-minute walk test; dyspnea, with the modified medical research council (mrc) scale; the bode index; and quality of life, with the modified saint george%26apos;s respiratory questionnaire (msgrq). patients were divided into two groups by disease severity: fev1 %26gt; 50% and fev1 50% and fev1 %26lt; 50% groups. there was a significant difference between the groups in terms of fev1 and the fev1/fvc ratio. there were moderate to significant correlations between the bode index scores and all of the msgrq domains in the group of patients with fev1 %26lt;50%. conclusions: the bode index score correlated with the scores of all of the msgrq domains in copd patients with fev1 %26lt; 50%. therefore, copd patients with fev1 %26lt; 50% die sooner and have a poorer quality of life.
