In muscle specimens (open biopsy procedures), muscle phenotype (fiber morphometry and structural abnormalities, immunohistochemistry) was also evaluated. Patients and controls were clinically and functionally evaluated.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>In muscles of patients compared to controls, a significant decline in body composition parameters (BMI and FFMI), muscle function (upper and lower limbs), lung function, and exercise capacity was detected, ultrasonography revealed decreased muscle thickness and area, while MRI demonstrated increased fat infiltration, which positively correlated with the bronchiectasis severity scores.
