Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of strengthening nutritional status on pulmonary ventilation function and exercise tolerance in elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods A total of 120 elderly patients with COPD were divided into control group (conventional nutrition intervention) and observation group (strengthening nutritional status),60 cases in each group.Pulmonary ventilation function,nutritional status and exercise tolerance before and after intervention were compared between two groups.Results There were no significant differences in the ventilation function,nutritional status and exercise tolerance between the two groups before intervention.After intervention,the ventilation function,nutritional status and exercise tolerance in observation group were significantly better than control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Strengthening nutritional status can improve lung ventilation function and exercise tolerance in elderly patients with COPD.
