Abstract:
Objective:To explore the current situation of balance function in elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and analyze the related factors affecting balance function in COPD patients.Methods:In this study, data from the 2015 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) were selected as research data, and 593 COPD patients aged 60 years or older were selected as research objects by multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method. The balance function was evaluated by standing test with both feet in front and behind. COPD patients whose standing test reached 60 s were divided into the good balance group (n=194), and those who did not reach 60 s were divided into the poor balance group (n=399). The balance ability of COPD patients of the two groups was compared, and the influencing factors of balance ability of the patientss were analyzed by Logistic regression analysis.Results:Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in balance ability between two groups in terms of age, education, cognitive function, and peak expiratory flow (PEF). ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age, cognitive function and PEF were influencing factors of balance ability of COPD patients ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Patients with COPD have poor balance function. Clinicians should pay attention to the evaluation of balance function in patients with COPD and take targeted intervention measures in time to reduce the risk of falls.
