Smoking, asthma, chronic airflow obstruction and COPD.
Cigarette smoking is the most prevalent risk factor for the development of adult-onset respiratory diseases associated with airflow obstruction, namely emphysema and chronic bronchitis, commonly called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Regrettably, childhood asthma does not reduce the likelihood of initiation of smoking [1] but it is not fully clear how smoking impacts pre-existing ...
متن کاملThe relationship between different diet quality indices and severity of airflow obstruction among COPD patients
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major public health problem worldwide. Smoking is the number one cause of COPD; however, genetic, environmental and dietary factors contribute to the etiology of this disease. In this study, we assessed the association between three diet quality indices -the Healthy Eating Index-2005 (HEI-2005), the Healthy Eating Index-2010 (HEI-201...
متن کاملEstimating the prevalence of COPD in Canada: Reported diagnosis versus measured airflow obstruction.
BACKGROUND Estimates of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) prevalence based on self-reports of a diagnosis are thought to underestimate the prevalence of COPD in Canada. DATA AND METHODS Pre-bronchodilator spirometry measures were obtained from the 2007 to 2009 Canadian Health Measures Survey for 2,487 individuals aged 35 to 79. The prevalence of self-reported chronic bronchitis sym...
متن کاملNot every irreversible airflow obstruction is COPD
As a consequence, the current definition recommended by the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease states that “COPD is a common preventable and treatable disease, characterized by persistent airflow limitation that is usually progressive and associated with enhanced chronic inflammatory responses in the airways and the lungs to noxious particles or gases. Exacerbations and como...
متن کاملThe Relationship between the Severity of Airway Obstruction and COPD Diagnostic Questionnaire Score in COPD Patients
Background & objectives: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by irreversible airflow limitation and systemic inflammation which is also associated with pulmonary and extra-pulmonary complications. COPD Diagnostic Questionnaire (CDQ) is a valid questionnaire that is used to identify patients with COPD. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between ...
