Abstract
Introduction and objective

The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD guideline) for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease does not adequately reflect the impact of the disease because does not take into account daily physical activity (DPA).

Patients and methods

Forty eight patients (12 in each GOLD group) were prospectively recruited. DPA was evaluated by accelerometer. Patients were classified into 3 levels of activity (very inactive, sedentary, active).

Results

No significant differences in levels of physical activity among GOLD groups (p=.361) were observed. The percentages of very inactive patients were 33% in group A, 42% in group B, 42% in group C and 59% in group D. In addition, high percentage of sedentary patients were observed through 4 groups, in group A (50%), B and C (42%, each), and group D (41%).

Discussion

COPD patients has very low levels of physical activity at all stages of GOLD classification even those defined as low impact (such as GOLD A). Is necessary to detect patients at risk who might benefit from specific interventions.

Resumen
Introducción y objetivo

La guía Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) para la clasificación de pacientes con enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC) no refleja adecuadamente el impacto de la enfermedad al no considerar la actividad física diaria (AFD).

Pacientes y métodos

Se seleccionaron prospectivamente 48 pacientes (12 por cada grupo GOLD). Se midió la AFD mediante acelerometría clasificando a los pacientes en 3 niveles de actividad (muy inactivo, sedentario, activo).

Resultados

No se observaron diferencias significativas en los niveles de actividad física entre los grupos GOLD (p=0.361). Los porcentajes de pacientes muy inactivos fueron 33% para el grupo A, 42% para el B, 42% para el C y 59% para el D. Además, los pacientes sedentarios alcanzaron el 50% en el grupo A, el 42% en los B y C, y el 41% para el grupo D.

Discusión

Los pacientes EPOC con muy bajos niveles de actividad física están presentes en todos los estadios de la clasificación GOLD, incluso en aquellos definidos como de bajo impacto (por ejemplo, el GOLD A). Es necesario detectar precozmente a los pacientes en riesgo que podrían beneficiarse de intervenciones específicas.
