“…112 Pulmonary rehabilitation programmes may be an appropriate therapeutic intervention to prevent falls, but accurate assessment of risk is needed. Oliveira et al 113 conducted a 12-month prospective cohort study of falls among 41 COPD patients with an average age of 71 years. Prevalence of falls was 40%, and 75% of those who experienced at least one fall fell more than once.…”

“…For example, evidences for arthritis as a risk factor for falls are well documented in the literature [46]. Studies show a positive association between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and the risk of falls [7, 8]. Studies also report an increased risk of falling among patients with a medical history of stroke [9, 10].…”

“…Subtende-se que esse cansaço associado à marcha em idosos com DPOC pode cursar com um déficit de equilíbrio, considerando o fato da marcha desses pacientes possuir uma alteração significativa de deambulação 7 . As quedas podem ser um fator de impacto na vida de idosos, principalmente os que possuem patologia respiratória e têm, dentro de sua sintomatologia, a dispneia de esforço, evidenciando-se, assim, a preocupação em analisar o risco de queda em idosos com DPOC 8 .…”

“…Oliveira et al 8 afirmaram que são poucos os estudos prospectivos relacionados a quedas ou risco de quedas em pacientes com DPOC e realizaram um estudo prospectivo, no qual verificou-se uma maior prevalência de risco de quedas em pacientes comunitários com DPOC, quando comparados a idosos saudáveis 8 . Existe, portanto, a possibilidade de que a realização de um estudo prospectivo revele um maior risco de quedas, pois, na presente pesquisa, a amostra foi relativamente pequena e grande parte dos participantes possuía idade inferior a 70 anos.…”
