OBJECTIVE: To
investigate the demographic characteristics, exercise habits and healthy
lifestyle behaviors of patients applied to hospital for respiratory distress.

METHODS:
The demographic and clinical data of 26 patients applied  to Istanbul University, Istanbul Medical
Faculty, Department of Chest Diseases and Yalova State Hospital with
respiratory distress were recorded. Physical activities of the subjects were
evaluated with “International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and
healthy lifestyle behaviors with“ Healthy Lifestyle Behavior Scale II
(HLBS-II).

RESULTS:
Four women (%15.4) and 22 men (%84.6) with a mean age of 65.85±9.72 years were
included in the study. Average body mass index was 26.85 ± 4.06 kg/m².
Cigarette use rates; %19.2(5) were smokers, and %73.1(19) had stopped smoking.
The mean cigarette use was 36.15±20.47 pack years. Modified Medical Research
Council Dyspnea Scale values ​​of the subjects varied; 0(n = 1), 1(n = 14), 2(n
= 4), 3(n = 6), 4(n = 1). In the last year, the number of attacks with
respiratory problems was 1.04±1.68, the
number of unplanned admissions to hospital was 3.77±7.01, and the number of hospitalizations was 0.46±1:10.
FEV1/FVC ratio was %.76.15±8.48 The rate of regular exercise was %15.4(4), IPAQ
average total score was 1597.42±1893.56 and HLBS-II average score was
130.58±21.37.

DISCUSSION: %92.3
of the patients with respiratory distress had a history of smoking, exercise
habits were very low, physical activity and healthy lifestyle behaviors were
moderate.

We
think that giving education about smoking cessation and exercise to
individuals, will improve their physical activity levels and healthy lifestyle
behaviors and reduce the respiratory problems they will encounter.
