Enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica y comportamiento sedentario: revisión sistemática

Abstract

Introduction: Despite the progress of global research on sedentary behavior, we know little about its relationships and its effects on the population with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). therefore, the purpose of this review was to analyze the current and most common evidence available on these issues. Method: Five electronic databases were used to conduct a qualitative diagnostic review. eligible documents from the past five years were descriptively analyzed in a data extraction table and analyzed separately the various topics found. Results: High sedentary behavior in COPD was evident in several articles, and how it relates to the severity level of the disease and mortality. the main sugges- ted strategy was to replace sedentary time with physical activity. Discussion: The results of this review are similar to what is studied in a population of varied co-morbility. However, their precedents are more specific in terms of recommendations. previous findings should be considered as a study guideline in COPD, as the pathological basis of chronic systemic inflammation is shared. Conclusion: Some findings found more frequently are the relationship of sedentary behavior with mortality and the deve- lopment of greater co-morbility in COPD, in addition to intervention through physical activity, so it is necessary to deepen this topic by looking for strategies and recommendations specific to this population.
