MNA-T and MNA-TSF assessment shows, COPD patients in this case the risk of malnutrition, mostly income groups, and the two scales of health (MNA-T、MNA-TSF) indicators BMI, TSF, MAC , CC, CAT values were highly significant positive correlation was not associated with albumin, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and cholesterol.
