Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common respiratory condition characterized by airflow limitation in the elderly. Airflow limitation is partially reversible and progressive. COPD not only causes a gradual decline in lung function but also affects the function of other systems throughout the body; it also has adverse effects on the central nervous system that can lead to cognitive impairment, especially in elderly patients. Therefore, understanding the influencing factors of cognitive impairment in elderly patients with COPD and applying early intervention are crucial in improving the quality of life of patients and reducing the burden on their families and society. This article mainly discusses the related factors of cognitive impairment in elderly patients with COPD and expands the possible mechanism of exercise in improving cognitive impairment in patients with COPD to provide a reference for the clinical prevention and treatment of cognitive impairment in elderly patients with COPD.
慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）是一种常见的呼吸系统疾病，以老年人的气流受限为特征。气流受限部分可逆且进行性加重。COPD 不仅导致肺功能逐渐下降，还会影响全身其他系统的功能；它还对中枢神经系统有不良影响，可导致认知障碍，特别是在老年患者中。因此，了解 COPD 老年患者认知障碍的影响因素并进行早期干预，对于提高患者的生活质量、减轻家庭和社会负担至关重要。本文主要探讨了 COPD 老年患者认知障碍的相关因素，并拓展了运动改善 COPD 患者认知障碍的可能机制，为 COPD 老年患者认知障碍的临床防治提供参考。
