abstract: 'Objectives Educational attainment, income, and race play significant
|
|
|
|
roles in managing and treating patients with chronic obstructive
|
|
|
|
pulmonary disease (COPD). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the
|
|
|
|
impact of these socioeconomic factors and others on the physical and
|
|
|
|
mental distress reported by patients with COPD living in Alabama.
|
|
|
|
Methods A cross-sectional analysis was completed of Alabama Behavioral
|
|
|
|
Risk Factor Surveillance System 2015-2019 data collected from 4123
|
|
|
|
respondents who reported that a health professional told them they had
|
|
|
|
COPD, chronic bronchitis, or emphysema. Univariate analyses examined
|
|
|
|
descriptive differences in physical and mental distress among racial
|
|
|
|
groups. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to assess
|
|
|
|
physical and mental distress as a function of race and demographic
|
|
|
|
variables (age, sex, employment status, household income, education
|
|
|
|
level), controlling for dichotomous healthcare access variables
|
|
|
|
(enrollment in a health insurance plan, having a usual source of care,
|
|
|
|
routine check-up in the past 2 years). Results Most Alabama adults with
|
|
|
|
COPD from 2015 to 2019 were female (64\%) and older than 45 years
|
|
|
|
(88\%). Annual incomes were low, with >40\% of respondents (43.84\%)
|
|
|
|
earning <\$20,000/year; adults making between \$35,000 and \$49,999 were
|
|
|
|
less likely (odds ratio 0.60, 95\% confidence interval 0.38-0.96) to
|
|
|
|
experience mental distress. Younger Alabama adults with COPD (25-64
|
|
|
|
years) were approximately two times more likely than respondents ages 65
|
|
|
|
and older to report mental distress. African Americans were less likely
|
|
|
|
to report physical distress as compared with Whites (odds ratio 0.61,
|
|
|
|
95\% confidence interval 0.44-0.83). Alabama adults who could not work
|
|
|
|
were more likely than those with COPD who were employed/self-employed,
|
|
|
|
out of work, retired, or identified as homemakers to report physical
|
|
|
|
distress. Conclusions Public health and healthcare practitioners across
|
|
|
|
Alabama should use these analyses to direct more targeted, high-yield
|
|
|
|
interventions that will address existing health disparities among state
|
|
|
|
residents living with COPD.'
