- Abstract
- Seasonal changes in physical activity in daily life (PADL) of patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) living in regions of the world with contrasting (i.e., mild or marked) weather variations have not been yet investigated. We aimed to quantify PADL and compare its variability caused by seasonality in patients with COPD who live in world regions with different summer-winter climatic variations (i.e. Londrina, Brazil and Leuven, Belgium). In a longitudinal, prospective and observational study, patients with COPD from Brazil and Belgium wore the SenseWear Armband for 7 days in summer and 7days in winter. Active time (>= 2 METs) was the primary outcome. PADL data were matched day-by-day with weather information. Regarding the two assessment moments, median (min;max) temperatures were 11 (-5.5;27.2)degrees C in Leuven and 21 (7;27)degrees C in Londrina. Patients in Brazil (n = 19, 69 +/- 7years, FEV1 47 +/- 15%(pred)) and Belgium (n = 18, 69 +/- 6years, FEV1 50 +/- 15%(pred)) decreased their active time in winter compared to summer (p < 0.05), and this reduction was more pronounced in Brazil (p = 0.01, between group). Mean, minimum and maximum temperature, daylight duration and relative humidity were significantly related to active time. Patients with COPD decrease their PADL in winter even in a region with milder climatic variation.
