- Six Minute Walk Test [ Time Frame: 12 months ]distance walked in six minutes
- Modified Borg Scale [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Shortness of breath: scores range from 0 (nothing at all) to 10 (very, very severe).
- Weight [ Time Frame: 12 months ]body weight
- Short Form 12 Health Survey (SF-12) Physical Component Score (PCS) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]scores range from 0-100 with higher scores reflecting better health
- Short Form 12 Health Survey (SF-12) Mental Component Score (MCS) [ Time Frame: 12-months ]scores range from 0-100 with higher scores reflecting better health
- Non-laboratory Framingham Risk Score [ Time Frame: 12 months ]This measure uses non-laboratory-based measures (sex, age, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, use of antihypertensive treatment, smoking status, and diabetes status) to yield a score (cardiovascular disease points) representing 10-year risk of having a cardiovascular problem. Low scores (minimum of -2 for women, -3 for men) indicate low risk. Scores of 21 or higher indicate high risk (30% risk or higher).
- Waist Circumference [ Time Frame: 12 months ]cardiovascular disease risk
- Systolic Blood Pressure [ Time Frame: 12 months ]indicator of cardiovascular disease risk; higher values indicate higher risk
- Body Mass Index (BMI) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]cardiovascular disease risk
- St George's Respiratory Questionnaire For COPD Patients (SGRQ-C) Symptom Component Score [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Designed to measure respiratory health quality of life in patients with COPD, providing a total score and three subscale scores assessing: (1) symptoms (frequency and severity), (2) activities that cause or are limited by breathlessness and (3) Impact (social functioning and psychological disturbances resulting from COPD). Each score ranges from 0-100, with higher scores indicating more limitations.
- St George's Respiratory Questionnaire For COPD Patients (SGRQ-C) Activity Component Score [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Designed to measure respiratory health quality of life in patients with COPD, providing a total score and three subscale scores assessing: (1) symptoms (frequency and severity), (2) activities that cause or are limited by breathlessness and (3) Impact (social functioning and psychological disturbances resulting from COPD). Each score ranges from 0-100, with higher scores indicating more limitations.
- St George's Respiratory Questionnaire For COPD Patients (SGRQ-C) Impact Component Score [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Designed to measure respiratory health quality of life in patients with COPD, providing a total score and three subscale scores assessing: (1) symptoms (frequency and severity), (2) activities that cause or are limited by breathlessness and (3) Impact (social functioning and psychological disturbances resulting from COPD). Each score ranges from 0-100, with higher scores indicating more limitations.
- St George's Respiratory Questionnaire For COPD Patients (SGRQ-C) Total Score [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Designed to measure respiratory health quality of life in patients with COPD, providing a total score and three subscale scores assessing: (1) symptoms (frequency and severity), (2) activities that cause or are limited by breathlessness and (3) Impact (social functioning and psychological disturbances resulting from COPD). Each score ranges from 0-100, with higher scores indicating more limitations.
