Healthy lifestyle interventions in general practice, Part 3: Lifestyle and chronic respiratory disease by Martin P. Schwellnus, Deepak N. Patel, Craig Nossel, Marieke Dreyer, Simon Whitesman, Wayne E. Derman

“…The main indication for referral to a lifestyle intervention programme is any symptomatic patient with either COPD or any other chronic respiratory disease, and who also has limited functional capacity. Following a comprehensive initial assessment, patients are recommended to attend either a group-based programme (medically supervised or medically directed, depending on the severity of the disease and the presence of any co-morbidities) or a home-based intervention programme. …”
