Core Tip

Core Tip: This study investigates the relationship between self-management, cognitive impairment, and quality of life (QoL) in elderly chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients. Findings reveal that self-management behavior is at a moderate level, cognitive impairment is prevalent, and QoL is generally low. A negative correlation exists between self-management and both cognitive impairment and QoL. Additionally, disease duration and self-management are independent factors affecting QoL. Interventions targeting self-management and cognitive health are essential to improve the overall well-being and QoL of elderly chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients. This study provides valuable insights for personalized disease management strategies.
