The patients were categorized into COPD Global Initiative for COPD (GOLD) grade 1, 2, 3 and 4 groups according to the severity of lung function. Based on the fat-free mass index (FFMI), patients were categorized into a low FFMI group (FFMI<17 kg/m<sup>2</sup>) and a normal FFMI group (FFMI≥17 kg/m<sup>2</sup>). Based on phase angle (PhA), patients were categorized into the low PhA group (PhA<5°) and the normal PhA group (PhA≥5°). Based on 6MWD, patients were divided into impaired endurance group (6MWD<350 m) and normal endurance group (6MWD≥350 m). Differences in body composition indexes, exercise capacity, and nutritional status of patients in different subgroups were compared. A trend test was used to analyze the trend of GOLD grading and body composition indexes. Correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation of FFMI, PhA, skeletal muscle mass index (SMI), basal metabolic rate (BMR), and visceral fat index (VFI) with 6MWD, HGS, post-diastolic exertional expiratory volume in the first second as a percentage of exertional lung capacity (FEV<sub>1</sub>%pred), and body mass index (BMI). <b>Results:</b> The age of 90 male COPD patients was 66 (59, 71) years.

The tinnitus severity was evaluated by the doctor's assessment, the patient's self-assessment, the MTQ, and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Follow-up assessments were conducted 3 to 6 months later to evaluate the severity of tinnitus post-treatment, and information on the interventions received (pharmacologic/non-pharmacologic) and patients' self-reported clinical impressions of their treatment outcomes (tinnitus cured/improved/no change/exacerbated) was collected. <b>Results:</b> A total of 54 tinnitus patients aged (43.5±12.7) years were included, consisting of 16 males and 38 females.
