Highlights
- •The current national diagnostic rate and awareness for early diagnosis and treatment for COPD is still low.
- •COPD patients with more stress and comorbidities are more likely to show nonadherence to health behaviors.
- •Nonadherence to health behaviors is higher in moderate and severe COPD groups than in the mild COPD group, so it is necessary to tailor healthcare steps to the severity of the disease.
Abstract
Background
Nonadherence to recommended health behaviors reportedly correlates with the prevalence
and health outcomes of COPD, but the factors contributing to multiple health promotions
are not well understood.
Objective
To examine the factors associated with nonadherence to health behaviors, specifically
focusing on COPD severity.
Methods
We conducted a secondary data analysis with data from the 2016–2019 Korea National
Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The analyzed data were from 1,627 individuals
aged over 40 years who had a FEV1/FVC ratio < 70% measured via spirometer. In this
study, nonadherence to health behaviors is the sum of seven health-promoting behaviors
in terms of smoking cessation, alcohol abstinence, regular exercise, weight control,
recommended sleep time, influenza vaccination, and medical check-up.
Results
COPD patients’ nonadherence to health behaviors was significantly associated with
comorbidity (p=0.017), stress (p=0.002), and COPD severity (moderate, severe; p=0.010, p=0.039, respectively). In addition, the moderate and severe COPD groups showed a higher
nonadherence rate than the mild COPD group. Specifically, nonadherence to weight control
was the most significantly different behavior according to COPD severity levels, based
on the GOLD classification of airflow limitation.
Conclusion
Our study findings support that those with higher levels of stress, comorbidities,
and severe disease conditions are less likely to adhere to health behaviors. Thus,
healthcare providers and policymakers should provide tailored approaches according
to COPD severity to educate and support appropriate health behaviors for individuals
with COPD.
