Risk of all-cause mortality associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and the role of healthy ageing trajectories: a population-based study of middle-aged and older adults.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The aims were to study the risk of all-cause mortality associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and healthy ageing trajectories (HAT) in three birth cohorts and to determine the moderating role of HAT in the association between COPD and all-cause mortality.

Design

Prospective cohort study.

Setting

Data from waves 1 to 5 of The Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe.

Participants

The total sample was 28 857 community-dwelling individuals aged 50+ years.

Main outcome

All-cause mortality associated with COPD and HAT adjusting for covariates. We performed Aalen additive hazards models to explore these associations. Interactions between COPD and HAT were also explored. Analyses were conducted separately in three birth
