Abstract

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a significant public health concern worldwide, characterized by progressive airflow limitation.[1] This study aims to investigate the prevalence of COPD across various demographics, including age, gender, and smoking history. A systematic review of literature and analysis of existing datasets will be conducted to gather comprehensive data on COPD prevalence. The findings will provide insights into the distribution of COPD among different population groups, informing targeted prevention and intervention strategies to mitigate its burden on healthcare systems and improve patient outcomes.[2]
