COPD
Can COPD run in families?

Preventive measures can help reduce the impact of the genetic risk factors for this disease. Learn more here.
What is the average age for COPD?

People who smoke heavily or work in environments with high exposure to pollutants may develop it earlier. Life expectancy depends on how far the disease has progressed at diagnosis and treatment plans.
