TLDR
In this paper, the authors determined the prognostic value of objectively measured physical activity in comparison with established predictors of mortality and evaluated the prognosis value of noninvasive assessments of cardiovascular status, biomarkers of systemic inflammation, and adipokines.

Physical activity in daily life in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

TL;DR: Patients with IPF were significantly inactive compared with age-matched healthy participants, and in patients with more impaired physiological functions, the lower the physical activity was, the more was the sedentary time increased, which resulted in significantly worse survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physical activity associates with disease characteristics of severe asthma, bronchiectasis and COPD.

TL;DR: Levels in severe asthma and bronchiectasis compared to moderate–severe COPD and to controls are described and the cross‐sectional associations of PA (steps/day) with shared disease characteristics in the OAD group are tested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term effects of web-based pedometer-mediated intervention on COPD exacerbations.

TL;DR: A 3-month internet-mediated, pedometer-based PA intervention was associated with reduced risk for AEs of COPD over 12-15 months of follow-up and there were no significant between-group differences in change in average daily step count, HRQL, or self-efficacy.

Benefits outweigh the risks: a consensus statement on the risks of physical activity for people living with long-term conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors aimed to agree clear statements for use by healthcare professionals about medical risks of physical activity for people living with long-term conditions through expert consensus, with a final agreement between 88.5% and 96.5%.
Journal ArticleDOI

Understanding and optimizing health-related quality of life and physical functional capacity in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

TL;DR: With the emergence of new and prospective therapies for IPF, it is more important than ever to be able to accurately and reliably assess how IPF patients feel and function, and promote the development of novel interventions to target impairments in these areas.

The Body-Mass Index, Airflow Obstruction, Dyspnea, and Exercise Capacity Index in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

TL;DR: The BODE index, a simple multidimensional grading system, is better than the FEV1 at predicting the risk of death from any cause and from respiratory causes among patients with COPD.

Salmeterol and fluticasone propionate and survival in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

TL;DR: The reduction in death from all causes among patients with COPD in the combination-therapy group did not reach the predetermined level of statistical significance, and there were significant benefits in all other outcomes among these patients.
