Heavy Smokers

BACKGROUND: Exposure to cigarette smoke is one risk factor that can lead to the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). AIM: The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between smoking and the stage of COPD. METHODS: This study used a cross-sectional survey design. A total of 60 COPD patients were involved in the study between September and November 2015 at the pulmonary ward of Zainoel Abidin General Hospital (ZAGH), Banda Aceh, Indonesia. The data were analyzed with the non-parametric bivariate test. RESULTS: The results showed that 55% of patients with COPD were aged between 40 and 60 years; 63.33% of them were heavy smokers. About 50% of moderate smokers suffered from Stage III COPD, while 34.21% of heavy smokers suffered from Stage III and Stage VI (severe) COPD, respectively, with p = 0.007. CONCLUSIONS: There is a strong relationship between smoking and COPD stage among patients at ZAGH.

AbstractThis study aims to investigate the characteristics of the phenotype and management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients in the general population in China. We analyzed spirometry-confirmed COPD patients who were identified from a population-based, nationally representative sample in China. All participants were measured with airflow limitation severity based on post-bronchodilator FEV1 percent predicted, bronchodilator responsiveness, exacerbation history, and respiratory symptoms. Among a total of 9134 COPD patients, 90.3% were non-exacerbators, 2.9% were frequent exacerbators without chronic bronchitis, 2.0% were frequent exacerbators with chronic bronchitis, and 4.8% were asthma-COPD overlap. Less than 5% of non-exacerbators ever had pulmonary function testing performed. The utilization rate of inhaled medication in non-exacerbators, exacerbators without chronic bronchitis, exacerbators with chronic bronchitis, and asthma-COPD overlap was 1.4, 23.5, 29.5, and 19.4%, respectively. A comprehensive strategy for the management of COPD patients based on phenotype in primary care is urgently needed.

Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Objective: The Moroccan cross-sectional study aimed to investigate obesity in association to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in Fez city. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was carried out in Moroccan adults. Anthropometric and spirometry measurements were performed using standardized guidelines. Results: Among the 744 participants, 53.9% of were women, with a mean age of 55.27 years (SD = 10.29). Nearly all women declared themselves to be never smokers, while 21% of men were current smokers. Overall, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease prevalence decreased with body mass index ( p = 0.01) and waist circumference ( p < 0.001). The same trends were also observed in women. The adjusted regression analysis showed a significant independent association between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and decreasing overweight (ORa: 0.66; CI95% (0.40–0.98)), obesity (ORa: 0.66 CI95%: (0.36–0.89)), and a decreasing waist circumference-abdominal obesity (ORa: 0.58 CI95%: (0.34–0.99)) in the whole population. The same association remains significant in women for overweight (ORa: 0.18 CI95%: (0.06–0.54)) and for waist circumference-abdominal obesity (ORa: 0.40 CI95%: (0.19–0.85)). All these associations disappeared for men. Conclusion: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease decreases with the increase in body mass index and waist circumference. The effect of waist circumference on the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was greater among women, regardless of the tobacco factor. A multicenter study would help to confirm the accuracy of these findings in a larger sample of the Moroccan population. Developed lifestyle programs in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease should be considered.
