Socio-environmental correlates of physical activity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Study of the causes of the reduced levels of physical activity in patients with COPD has been scarce and limited to biological factors.

Aim

To assess the relationship between novel socio-environmental factors, namely dog walking, grandparenting, neighbourhood deprivation, residential surrounding greenness and residential proximity to green or blue spaces, and amount and intensity of physical activity in COPD patients.

Methods

This cross-sectional study recruited 410 COPD patients from five Catalan municipalities. Dog walking and grandparenting were assessed by questionnaire. Neighbourhood deprivation was assessed using the census Urban Vulnerability Index, residential surrounding greenness by the satellite-derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, and residential proximity to green or blue spaces as living within 300 m of such a space. Physical activity was measured during 1 week by accelerometer to assess time spent on moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and vector magnitude units (VMU) per minute.

Findings

Patients were 85% male, had a mean (SD) age of 69 (9) years, and post-bronchodilator FEV₁ of 56 (17) %pred. After adjusting for age, sex, socio-economic status, dyspnoea, exercise capacity and anxiety in a linear regression model, both dog walking and grandparenting were significantly associated with an increase both in time in MVPA (18 min/day (p<0.01) and 9 min/day (p<0.05), respectively) and in physical activity intensity (76 VMU/min (p=0.05) and 59 VMUs/min (p<0.05), respectively). Neighbourhood deprivation, surrounding greenness and proximity to green or blue spaces were not associated with physical activity.

Conclusions

Dog walking and grandparenting are associated with a higher amount and intensity of physical activity in COPD patients.

Project description:BackgroundReduced physical activity (PA) was the strongest predictor of all-cause mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This scoping review aimed to map the evidence on the current landscape of physical activity, barriers and facilitators, and assessment tools across COPD patients.MethodsArksey and O'Malley's scoping review methodology framework guided the conduct of this review. An electronic search was conducted on five English databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, CINAHL and Web of Science) and three Chinese databases (CNKI, CQVIP and WAN-FANG) in January 2022. Two authors independently screened the literature, extracted the studies characteristics.ResultsThe initial search yielded 4389 results, of which 1954 were duplicates. Of the remaining 135 articles, 42 studies met the inclusion criteria. Among the reviewed articles, there were 14 (33.3%) cross-sectional study, 9 (21.4%) cohort study, 4 (9.5%) longitudinal study, 3 qualitative study, 12 (28.7%) randomized control trials. The main barriers identified were older age, women, lung function, comorbidities, COPD symptoms (fear of breathlessness and injury, severe fatigue, anxiety and depression), GOLD stage, frequency of exacerbation, oxygen use, lack of motivation and environment-related (e.g., season and weather). Twelve studies have evaluated the effects of physical exercise (e.g., walking training, pulmonary rehabilitation (PR), pedometer, self-efficacy enhancing intervention and behavioral modification intervention) on PA and showed significant positive effects on the prognosis of patients. However, in real life it is difficult to maintain PA in people with COPD.ConclusionsChanging PA behavior in patients with COPD requires multidisciplinary collaboration. Future studies need to identify the best instruments to measure physical activity in clinical practice. Future studies should focus on the effects of different types, time and intensity of PA in people with COPD and conduct randomized, adequately-powered, controlled trials to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of behavioral change interventions in PA.

Project description:RationalePhysical inactivity among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is associated with exacerbations requiring high-cost health care utilization including urgent, emergent, and hospital care.ObjectivesTo examine the effectiveness of a behavioral lifestyle physical activity intervention combined with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease self-management education to prevent high-cost health care utilization.MethodsThis was an analysis of secondary outcomes of the Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Self-Management Activation Research Trial, a two-arm randomized trial of stable adult outpatients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease recruited from primary care and pulmonary clinics. Following a 6-week self-management education run-in period, participants were randomized to usual care or to a telephone-delivered home-based health coaching intervention over 20 weeks. Secondary outcomes of physical activity and health care utilization were determined by self-report 6, 12, and 18 months after randomization. Associations between treatment allocation arm and these secondary outcomes were examined using log-binomial and Poisson regression models.ResultsA total of 325 outpatients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were enrolled in the trial. Their average age was 70.3 years (standard deviation, 9.5), and 50.5% were female; 156 were randomized to usual care and 149 to the intervention. A greater proportion of participants reported being persistently active over the 18-month follow-up period in the intervention group (73.6%) compared with the usual care group (57.8%) (mean difference, 15.8%; 95% confidence interval, 4.0-27.7%). This association varied by severity of forced expiratory volume in 1 second impairment (P for interaction = 0.09). Those in the intervention group with moderate impairment (forced expiratory volume in 1 second, 50-70% predicted), more frequently reported being persistently active compared with the usual care (86.0 vs. 65.1%; mean difference, 20.9%; 95% confidence interval, 5.7-36.1%). Patients with severe and very severe forced expiratory volume in 1 second impairment (forced expiratory volume in 1 second < 50% predicted) in the intervention group also reported being persistently active more frequently compared with usual care (63.3 vs. 50.8%; mean difference, 12.6%; 95% confidence interval, -4.7 to 29.8). The intervention was associated with a lower rate of lung-related utilization (adjusted rate ratio, 0.38; 95% confidence interval, 0.23-0.63) only among participants with severe spirometric impairment.ConclusionsOur results demonstrate that a feasible and generalizable home-based coaching intervention may decrease sedentary behavior and increase physical activity levels. In those with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, this intervention may reduce lung disease-related health care utilization.
