Research Notes on COPD Statistics
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) refers to two conditions, chronic bronchitis and emphysema, that are characterized by difficulty breathing due to blockage or obstruction in the air passages. Data from a national health survey shows around 24 million Americans are affected by the disease. COPD ranks fourth among the leading causes of mortality in people age 65 to 84, and fifth in those who are age 45 to 64 and age 85 and older. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent complications and relieve symptoms in those who have the disease.
