Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPDIn the last century, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was more prevalent among men. But increased use of tobacco among women in countries with higher standards of living, increased risk of effects on the body of polluted air in countries with a lower standard of living, resulting in currently, the disease affects both men and women almost equally. 

Obstructive lung disease is fatal (about 90% of cases) in countries where the standard of living of average and below average. In such countries, effective measures of prevention and control of disease are rare or are completely inaccessible.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are preventable. The main reason for its occurrence and development of inhaled tobacco smoke (including passive smokers), but there are other factors. These include:

- contaminated indoor air (e.g., when using solid type fuel in the process of cooking);

Obstructive lung disease atmospheric pollution;

- dust and chemical substances entering for jobs (fumes, smoke, irritants);

- frequent infections of the lower respiratory tract in children.

If urgently not to take measures aimed at reducing the main factors leading to the diagnosis "chronic obstructive pulmonary disease”, the prognosis will be unfavourable: the total number of deaths from the disease in the next 10 years will increase on average by 30%.
