Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effects of megestrol acetate (MA) on body weight, respiratory muscle strength, and perceptions in underweight COPD patients.
- MA significantly increased body weight by 3.2 kg compared to 0.7 kg in the placebo group, primarily through fat gain, while showing no notable changes in respiratory muscle function or exercise tolerance.
- Participants on MA reported improvements in appetite and body image, but there were no significant differences in adverse events between the MA and placebo groups.
