Overview
COPD occurs in 34 out of 1000 greater than 65 years old. In England, an estimated 842,100 of 50 million people have a diagnosis of COPD; translating into approximately one person in 59 receiving a diagnosis of COPD at some point in their lives. In the most socioeconomically deprived parts of the country, one in 32 people were diagnosed with COPD, compared with one in 98 in the most affluent areas. In the United States, the prevalence of COPD is approximately 1 in 20 or 5%, totalling approximately 13.5 million people in USA,[1] or possibly approximately 25 million people if undiagnosed cases are included.[2]
Epidemiology and demographics
In 2005, COPD caused an estimated 126,005 U.S. deaths in people older than 25 years. This was an 8% increase from 116,494 in the year 2000. For women, the number of deaths related to COPD in 2005 was 65,193, while for men it was 60,812.2 [3]
- In 2005, approximately one in 20 deaths in the United States had COPD as the underlying cause.
- Smoking is estimated to be responsible for at least 75% of COPD deaths (2).
- Excess health-care expenditures are estimated at nearly $6,000 annually for every COPD patient in the United States (3).
- To update national estimates of deaths from COPD for the period 2000--2005 (the most recent years for which data are available), CDC analyzed data from the National Vital Statistics System (NVSS). Results of that analysis indicated that an estimated 126,005 deaths of persons aged >25 years occurred in 2005 with COPD as the underlying cause, an increase of 8% from 116,494 deaths in 2000.
- Age-standardized COPD mortality rates remained fairly stable during the period overall but decreased among men and increased among women. To decrease the number and rate of COPD deaths, public health programs should continue efforts to reduce all personal exposure to 1) tobacco smoke, including passive smoke exposure; 2) occupational dusts and chemicals; and 3) other indoor and outdoor air pollutants linked to COPD (3).
- Once COPD is diagnosed, chronic disease management programs should work to prevent further deterioration in lung function and reduce COPD mortality (4)
Data and Statistics
This CDC national surveillance system is maintained by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and includes up-to-date summary tables, graphs, and figures of occupationally-related respiratory disease surveillance data on the pneumoconioses, occupational asthma and other airways diseases, and several other respiratory conditions including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Information is available at http://www2a.cdc.gov/drds/WorldReportData/.

COPD prevalence in United states
http://www.cdc.gov/copd/images/copd_map.png
Age-standardized death rates for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), by state, aggregated over 1999–2006. State rates are grouped into quartiles. Data were obtained from the National Vital Statistics System at http://wonder.cdc.gov. COPD as the underlying cause of death was defined by ICD-10 codes J40-J44. Death rates are reported per 100,000 population and were age-standardized to the 2000 U.S. standard population
