Weight-based reference equations for the 6-min walk test can be misleading in obese patients

Weight-based reference equations for the 6-min walk test can produce normal results despite poor performance. Using ideal body weight- or non-weight-based reference equations for the 6-min walk test may produce more clinically meaningful results. https://bit.ly/2wE9Sdn
