<p> [Purpose] Physical activity influences the prognosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and is influenced by exercise tolerance, and environmental, psychological, and many other factors, but the influence of these factors on physical activity levels in each stage of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is unknown. This study aimed to clarify this matter. [Participants and Methods] Seventy-one male patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (aged 72.2 ± 4.5 years) participated in this study. We compared physical activity levels (determined as daily steps), presence or absence of daily routine (e.g., housework or hobby), 6-minute walking distance, psychological factors (using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), and health-related quality of life (Physical and Mental component summary of the 36-item short-form health survey) between patients in different stages of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. [Results] When examined at each stage of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, physical activity levels correlated with the presence or absence of daily routine, 6-minute walking distance, and Physical component summary in all stages, but the scores in the anxiety and depression components of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and Mental component summary correlated only with stage 4. [Conclusion] Physical functioning was related to physical activity levels at any stage of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, although psychological functioning was related to the progress of disease severity. The approach to promote an active lifestyle must be selected depending on the stage of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.</p>
