Efforts to improve early diagnosis,
develop new treatments, and better predict patients’ prognoses are leading to
renewed optimism in the fight against one of the world’s most prevalent
respiratory diseases.
The illness, chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD), is a non-communicable lung disease that progressively
robs sufferers of breath. COPD is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide,
causing more than 3 million deaths every year, and up to half of
people with the disease don’t know they have it.
20 November 2013 is the twelfth annual World COPD
Day, an event held each November to raise awareness of COPD worldwide. This
year’s World COPD Day theme, “It’s not
too late,” emphasizes the meaningful actions people can take to improve
their respiratory health, at any stage before or after a COPD diagnosis.
