Material & method-This prospective study was conducted in Dept. of Respiratory Medicine MGMC&H, Jaipur from Jan 2015 to March 2016. Patients were diagnosed COPD according to GOLD update(2015) & staging(severity) was done according to Spirometry criteria. Waist circumference was measured & BMI was calculated (WHO criteria) in all cases. BMI & Waist circumference were analyzed & co-related with severity of disease. Results-120(82M, 38F) patients of COPD was analyzed .Out of 120 patients stage I were 8(6.67%),II 41(34.17), III 38(31.67%) & stage IV 33(27.50). BMI in stage 1,2,3,4 were 22.9, 24.86, 21.38, 18.36 respectively with mean BMI 21.84kg/m2 . Waist circumference in stage 1,2,3,4 were 79.63, 91.34,85.13,76.06 respectively. BMI and waist circumference decreases with increasing severity of COPD which was statistically significant Conclusion –BMI & waist circumference decreases more in severe & very severe disease. Follow up monitoring of BMI with nutritional status is required for better management of COPD patients.
