Nutrition + weights + testosterone improved function in chronic respiratory failure (RCT)

Many people with chronic respiratory failure literally waste away -- as evidenced by the contribution of "B" (for body mass index) in the BODE index's prediction of survival in severe COPD. Although long-term oxygen therapy improves survival and quality of life, and pulmonary rehabilitation improves exercise capacity and QOL, efforts to halt or reverse the catabolic wasting process with nutrition and/or weight exercise haven't been shown to be particularly helpful.
