背景：体力活动是慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）患者功能状态的一个关键维度，也是该群体干预的中心目标。目的：确定COPD患者身体活动、功能能力、症状经历和健康相关生活质量等功能表现之间的关系。方法：横断面、描述性研究。在进入肺部康复计划之前，对63例COPD门诊患者进行了研究。结果：通过加速度计测量的日常体力活动与6分钟步行测试中的最大步行距离（r = 0.60, p < .00）、气道阻塞程度（r = 0.37, p < .01）、步行自我效能（r = 0.27, p < .05）和身体健康状况（r = 0.40, p < .01）密切相关。体力活动与自我报告的功能状态无关。唯一能预测身体活动的是6分钟步行测试。1结论：加速度计测量的功能表现与行走能力最显著相关。这种方法代表了一种新的方法来测量功能状态的一个重要维度，以前没有很好地量化。
Background: Physical activity is a key dimension of functional status in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and the central target of interventions in this group.Objectives: To determine the relationships among functional performance measured as physical activity, functional capacity, symptom experiences, and health-related quality of life in people with COPD.Method: Cross-sectional, descriptive study. Convenience Sample of 63 outpatients with COPD studied prior to entry into a pulmonary rehabilitation program.Results: Daily physical activity, as measured by an accelerometer, was strongly associated with maximal distance walked during a 6-minute walk test (r = .60, p < .00), level of airway obstruction (r = .37, p < .01), walking self-efficacy (r = .27, p < .05), and physical health status (r =.40, p < .01). Physical activity was not correlated with self-report of functional status. The only predictor of physical activity was the 6-minute walk test. 1Conclusions: Accelerometer measurement of functional performance was most significantly related to walking abilities. This methodology represents a novel approach to measuring an important dimension of functional status not previously well quantified.
