Brief Summary:
The literature does not provide sufficient information on the evaluation of frailty, handgrip strength, physical activity, kinesiophobia, and fatigue in elderly individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and asymptomatic elderly individuals. Additionally, there is a gap in the literature regarding the impact of COPD on these parameters in geriatric individuals diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease . To fill this gap in the literature and to establish treatment approaches based on the results of parameters studied in elderly individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in future studies.
Detailed Description:
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a prevalent condition among the elderly population, considered a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. It is characterized by chronic inflammatory responses associated with harmful particles or gases in the airways and lungs, resulting in persistent airflow limitation that is both preventable and treatable . While cough and sputum are reported as clinical symptoms in COPD cases, the most prominent clinical symptom is dyspnea. Age-related physiological changes and frailty lead to a decrease in levels of physical activity. The resulting deconditioning from reduced physical activity causes a decline in ventilation quality, creating a vicious cycle that progressively exacerbates dyspnea. This study involves the comparison of individuals diagnosed with COPD with asymptomatic geriatric individuals. Its aim is to examine the effects of COPD on frailty, handgrip strength, physical activity, kinesiophobia, and fatigue.
