Obesity and COPD: pathophysiological aspects and therapeutic perspectives
https://doi.org/10.24884/1609-2201-2024-103-4-11-19
Abstract
This article describes the relationship between the pathogenetic mechanisms of obesity and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Particular attention is paid to the role of systemic inflammation, metabolic disorders and mechanical influence of excess adipose tissue on the external respiratory function. Understanding the peculiarities of multifactorial pathophysiologic interaction in patients with such combined pathology allows to set the accents in the complex approach in treatment. Rational approach, taking into account both pharmacotherapy and non-medication methods when choosing treatment tactics, positively affects clinical outcomes. The authors suggest that targeting and influencing the common therapeutic targets of both diseases should be considered as a priority. The data of the analysis can serve as a basis for the development of new algorithms for the treatment of patients with obesity and COPD, as well as for the improvement of existing clinical guidelines.
