The chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) assessment test (CAT) was compared with quadriceps strength in 90 outpatients with stable COPD (mean (SD) FEV1 49 (25)% predicted, age 65.7 (7.8) years, 52% male). Maximum isometric quadriceps force (QMVC)4was significantly lower in patients with worse health status (CAT score >20, n=39: QMVC 23.7 (5.6) kg vs 27.6 (6.9) kg (p=0.005), R 0.25 (p=0.02)).
