At baseline, there was no significant difference among the groups in terms of demographic and clinical features (p > 0.05) (Table 1). There was no statistically signif- icant difference among the groups in terms of pulmonary functions,respiratory muscle strength, exercise stress test, and blood biochemistry parameters (p > 0.05). In our study, 31.7% of the patients (n = 60) had restrictive type disorder. The FBG, triglyceride, CRP, ASO, and ESR values were above normal and HDL cholesterol was measured at borderline in the majority of male patients (NCEP-III 2001). None of the patients had complications in our study.
