Longitudinal changes in the rate and mean age of incidence and prevalence of copd in the uk, 2000-2009
TL;DR: The average age of patients with COPD has remained relatively constant over the last decade, and COPD is increasingly being diagnosed at a younger age and patients are living longer, which may in part explain the 50% rise in COPD prevalence.
