This report presents national data regarding objectively determined COPD;
COPD-associated activity and functional limitations; self-reported COPD
prevalence, COPD physician office and hospital outpatient department
visits, COPD hospitalizations, and COPD deaths; and COPD emergency
department visits. During the period analyzed, the most substantial change
ws the increase in the COPD death rate for women, from 20.1/100,000 in 1980
to 56.7/100,000 in 2000, compared with the more modest increase in the
death rate for men, from 73.0/100,000 in 1980 to 82.6/100,000 in 2000. In
2000, for the first time, the number of women dying from COPD surpassed the
number of men dying from COPD (59,936 versus 59,118).
Facts about
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
http://www.cdc.gov/nceh/airpollution/copd/copdfaq.htm
From 1980 to 2000, the COPD death rate for women grew much faster than the
rate for men. U.S. women also had more COPD hospitalizations (404,000) than
men (322,000) and more emergency department visits (898,000) than men
(551,000) in 2000. Additionally, 2000 marked the first year in which more
women (59,936) than men (59,118) died from COPD. However, the proportion of
the U.S. population aged 25-54, both male and female, with mild or moderate
COPD has declined over the past quarter century, suggesting that increases
in hospitalizations and deaths might not continue.
