“…Other studies also reported no correlation between age and QOL while some have reported worsening of SGRQ scores with increasing age. 3,7,8 Sex did not impact QOL in significant manner in the present study. Some studies have reported that females have poor QOL as compared to males.…”

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease that causes breathlessness (initially with exertion) and predisposes to exacerbations and serious illness. COPD is not curable, improvement of quality of life of such patients is thus of importance. The aims and objective of the study was to assess health related quality of life and its determinants in patients with COPD.Methods: Cases were first identified from the medical records of Department of RHTC, Mandur. Eligible cases were then interviewed by home visits. Health Related Quality of Life (HRQL) of participants was assessed using St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). ANOVA, student’s t test and correlation were used to interpret the data.Results: This study shows an impaired quality of life in COPD patients. Quality of life was impaired in all the domains. However, activity domain was the most affected while impact domain was least affected. Age, sex, smoking, BMI, socioeconomic status, occupation did not impact quality of life in significant manner.Conclusions: This study shows an impaired quality of life in COPD patients. As COPD is slowly progressing disease with no specific cure, we should focus more on treatable aspects of quality of life.

“…Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death worldwide and is associated with poor quality of life (QoL) and a significant burden on healthcare resources [1,2]. Current population-level strategies to reduce the burden of COPD have largely focused on smoking cessation, the most significant modifiable risk factor for the development and progression of COPD [3].…”

Background: Findings from previous studies reporting on the associations between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and various dietary patterns have been inconsistent. This review aims to summarise the evidence on the strength of the association between dietary patterns and the prevalence and incidence of COPD. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of seven databases between 1 January 1980 and 30 November 2019. Two reviewers independently reviewed each manuscript through the screening, selection, data extraction and quality assessment stages. Data from eight observational studies that met the inclusion criteria were extracted and random-effects meta-analysis was subsequently conducted. Results: Eight observational studies (all eight reporting on healthy dietary patterns and three on unhealthy dietary patterns) met the inclusion criteria and data were extracted to include in the meta-analysis. Consumption of a healthy dietary pattern was associated with a lower risk of COPD ( pooled OR 0.88, 95% CI 0.82-0.94). Consumption of unhealthy dietary patterns was associated with a higher risk of COPD (OR 1.22, 95% CI 0.84-1.76); however, the results were not statistically significant and had high heterogeneity (I 2 =91%). Conclusion: Our results suggests that healthy dietary patterns are associated with a lower prevalence of COPD, while unhealthy dietary patterns are not. More studies, particularly adequately powered longitudinal studies, are needed to further elucidate the effects of healthy and unhealthy dietary patterns on risk of COPD. @ERSpublications This review suggests that individuals with healthy dietary pattern have lower risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease http://bit.ly/331PVJ1 Cite this article as: Parvizian MK, Dhaliwal M, Li J, et al.
