Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the mediating role of frailty in the relationship between sedentary behavior and quality of life in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), so as to provide empirical evidence for improving the quality of life in COPD patients.Methods:This was a cross-sectional survey. Two hundred and twenty-eight patients with stable COPD attending outpatient clinic in Chongming Branch of Shanghai Tenth People′s Hospital from January 2022 to February 2023 were selected by convenience sampling method. The General Information Questionnaire, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, the Tilburg Frailty Indicator, and the COPD Assessment Test Questionnaire were investigated. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the mediating role of frailty between sedentary behavior and quality of life, and Bootstrap method was used to analyze the mediating effect values.Results:Finally, 219 valid questionnaires were collected. The effective recovery rate was 96.05%(219/228). There were 168 males and 51 females, aged 69(62, 74) years old. The sedentary time of stable COPD patients was 6(5, 8) h/d, the frailty score was 5(3, 7) points, and the quality of life score was (13.56 ± 2.56) points. Pearson correlation analysis showed that the sedentary time, frailty in stable COPD were positively correlated with quality of life( r=0.420, 0.582, both P<0.01), and the sedentary time was also positively correlated with frailty ( r=0.698, P<0.01). Bootstrap method test results showed that the direct effect of sedentary time was 0.228 (95% CI 0.082-0.374), the indirect effect mediated by frailty was 0.169 (95% CI 0.080-0.215), and the total effect was 0.397, and the 95% CI of both the direct effect and the mediated effect did not contain 0. This model was partially mediated model with a 42.57% mediated effect. Conclusions:The quality of life of patients with stable COPD is at an intermediate level, and sedentary behavior can not only directly affect quality of life, but also indirectly affect quality of life by causing or aggravating debilitation. In clinical work, patients should be encouraged to avoid causing or aggravating debilitation due to prolonged sedentary behavior by standing, changing position frequently or performing light physical activities to promote the improvement of quality of life in the stable phase.
