'''Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease''' ('''COPD'''), also known as '''chronic obstructive airway disease''' ('''COAD'''), is a group of [[disease]]s characterized by the pathological limitation of airflow in the [[airway]] that is not fully reversible. COPD is the umbrella term for chronic [[bronchitis]], [[emphysema]] and a range of other lung disorders. It is most often due to [[tobacco smoking]],<ref name="dev">Devereux G.

COPD occurs in 34 out of 1000 greater than 65 years old.[2] In England, an estimated 842,100 of 50 million people have a diagnosis of COPD; translating into approximately one person in 59 receiving a diagnosis of COPD at some point in their lives. In the most socioeconomically deprived parts of the country, one in 32 people were diagnosed with COPD, compared with one in 98 in the most affluent areas.[3] In the United States, the prevalence of COPD is approximately 1 in 20 or 5%, totalling approximately 13.5 million people in USA,[4] or possibly approximately 25 million people if undiagnosed cases are included.[5]


Epidemiology and demographics

In 2005, COPD caused an estimated 126,005 U.S. deaths in people older than 25 years. This was an 8% increase from 116,494 in the year 2000. For women, the number of deaths related to COPD in 2005 was 65,193, while for men it was 60,812.2 [6]

Data and Statistics

Work related lung disease (world) surveillance system

This CDC national surveillance system is maintained by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and includes up-to-date summary tables, graphs, and figures of occupationally-related respiratory disease surveillance data on the pneumoconioses, occupational asthma and other airways diseases, and several other respiratory conditions including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Information is available at http://www2a.cdc.gov/drds/WorldReportData/.

COPD prevalence in United states

http://www.cdc.gov/copd/images/copd_map.png

Age-standardized death rates for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), by state, aggregated over 1999–2006. State rates are grouped into quartiles. Data were obtained from the National Vital Statistics System at http://wonder.cdc.gov. COPD as the underlying cause of death was defined by ICD-10 codes J40-J44. Death rates are reported per 100,000 population and were age-standardized to the 2000 U.S. standard population
