ABSTRACT
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by progressive and partially reversible airway obstruction. Weight loss is a frequently occurring complication in patients with COPD and is a determining factor of functional capacity, health status and mortality. For elderly patients with COPD, nutrition therapy is initiated after the evaluation of the nutritional state of the patient, which identifies nutritional risk, there by allowing the proper level of treatment to be established. The prescribed diet should contain appropriate proportions of macronutrients and micronutrients in order to regain or maintain the proper nutritional state and to avoid complications. In the treatment of elderly patients with COPD, individualized nutrition therapy is extremely important and has been shown to be fundamental to improving quality of life (AU)
