Abstract

Introduction: Physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) have attracted attention in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and there have been efforts to evaluate PA and SB separately. The factors associated with the characteristics of the four activity phenotypes defined by the durations of PA and SB are largely unknown. The aim of this study was to clarify the factors that could differentiate each activity phenotype.

Materials And Methods: Study subjects were outpatients with stable COPD who were ≥40 years of age. We investigated the influence of 26 different factors on the activity phenotypes of COPD and extracted the factors that showed significant differences among the four activity phenotypes.

Results: Two hundred sixteen patients were included in the analysis. Exercise capacity and dyspnea were determinants that distinguished the low PA groups from the high PA groups. The pulmonary function and desaturation during exercise were factors that distinguished the high PA with low SB group from the low PA with high SB group. BMI, grip strength, upper arm circumference and HbA1c were higher in the low PA and low SB group than in the low PA and high SB group.

Conclusion: These factors could be the determinants discriminating activity phenotypes of patients with COPD.
