Abstract
The article presents data on the dynamics of the incidence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the adult population of Cherepovets. 23 people aged 42-74 years were examined. In the course of the study, preventive measures were proposed to reduce the increase in morbidity and improve the quality of life of people with COPD. To assess the functional state of individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a 6-minute stress test (6-MCT) was used, and the degree of dyspnea was assessed using the Borg scale. In the process of implementing preventive measures, their effectiveness and significant improvement in the functional state of persons with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are shown.
Highlights
In the total number of recorded cases of diseases, respiratory diseases are distinguished, which include acute respiratory infections of the upper respiratory tract, influenza and pneumonia, other acute respiratory infections of the lower respiratory tract, chronic diseases of the lower respiratory tract, as well as other diseases
The aim of the questionnaire survey was to identify how they experience the disease and how much the diagnosis of COPD affects the quality of life of the adult population
The analysis of the results showed that the preventive measures proposed by us turned out to be effective for all indicators of functional state among the subjects of the examined group
Summary
In the total number of recorded cases of diseases, respiratory diseases are distinguished, which include acute respiratory infections of the upper respiratory tract, influenza and pneumonia, other acute respiratory infections of the lower respiratory tract, chronic diseases of the lower respiratory tract, as well as other diseases. Their share in the total incidence is gradually, albeit with some fluctuations, declining, reaching about 25% in 2016-2017, compared to 28% in 2000, 30% in 1995 and 36% in 1990 [9]. For Russia, where there are high rates of smoking population, a fairly high number of people with respiratory diseases, a large existence of industrial cities, a cold weather for 4-5 months a year, COPD is of particular relevance. Cigarette smoking is the most studied among them, but not the only factor instigating the development of the disease [5]
