Height (m/cm)	1.67 ± 0.83
BMI	24.10 ± 1.21
Diagnosis ()
HCV	40
HBV	16
AC	30
Alb (g/dL)	4.3 ± 0.3
ALT (U/L)	21.5 ± 4.6
AST (U/L)	25.1 ± 7.1
Death ()	19
MELD	17 ± 3

Age, weight, height, and BMI are shown as the mean ± standard deviation. M/F = male/female. BMI = body mass index. HCV group = hepatitis C virus group. HBV group = hepatitis B virus group. AC group = alcoholic cirrhosis group. Alb = albumin. AST = aspartate aminotransferase. ALT = alanine aminotransferase. MELD = model for end-stage liver disease. = highest oxygen uptake. MIP = maximum inspiratory pressure. 6MWT = six-minute walk test. m = metres.
