The BODE index will result in a score of zero to ten dependent upon FEV1 or "forced expiratory volume in one second" (the greatest volume of air that can be breathed out in the first second of a breath), body-mass index, the distance walked in six minutes, and the modified MRC dyspnea scale.[1][2] Significant weight loss is a bad sign.[3] Results of spirometry are also good predictors of the future progress of the disease, but they are not as good as the test results of the BODE index.[3][4]
