Correlation between frailty and reduction in cortical thickness in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Abstract Physical inactivity and cognitive impairment in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can lead to frailty and poor prognoses. However, little is known regarding the association between frailty and the human brain. We hypothesized that the brain structure could change ac...
