This study aimed to assess and compare the nutritional status and life quality of @entity1 with @entity1030 ( @entity1030 ) and @entity785 ( @entity785 ). Thirty @entity1 with stable @entity1030 and 32 @entity1 with @entity785 were examined. In all @entity1 , the following parameters were measured: fat mass, fat-free mass, total body water, FEV1, and blood gases. @entity1030 @entity1 ' life quality was assessed with St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire, and in @entity785 @entity1 with a Quality of Life Questionnaire. The results show that among @entity1030 @entity1 13  % had normal body weight, 60  % were @entity28 , and 27  % were overweight. In @entity785 @entity1 , 59  % had normal body weight, 31  % were overweight, 1 @entity1 was @entity28 , and 2 were underweight. The mean life quality score in @entity1030 @entity1 was 57.3        16.5, while that in @entity785 @entity1 was 35.8        18.2. @entity1030 @entity1 had a statistically significant lower life quality than @entity785 @entity1 . The mean value of FEV1 was 45.5        12.2  % pred. in @entity1030 @entity1 , and 86.8        21.2  % pred. in the @entity785 group. We conclude that nutritional disorders are more frequent in @entity1030 @entity1 compared to those with @entity785 .
