Disponível em: https://www.revistas.ufg.br/fen/article/view/57637.1518-1944http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/20407The aim of this study was to identify and compare the level of knowledge about chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in active, sedentary and severely inactive individuals. This is a cross-sectional study with individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. A clinical evaluation form, the Bristol COPD Knowledge Questionnaire, and pedometers (step counter) were used for data collection. Of the 75 individuals evaluated, 70.7% were severely inactive. There was a low level of knowledge about chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (48.51 ± 9.08%), and it was found that active, sedentary and severely inactive individuals have a similar level of knowledge about the disease (50.19 ± 11.18% vs 46.48 ± 8.16% vs 48.79 ± 9.06%, p=0.68). It is concluded, therefore, that individuals with active, sedentary and severely inactive chronic obstructive pulmonary disease have similar and reduced knowledge about the disease.porAcesso AbertoDoença pulmonar obstrutiva crônicaExercício físicoConhecimentoPulmonary diseaseChronic obstructiveExerciseKnowledgeArtigo10.5216/ree.v22.57637
