COPD is the 4th leading cause of death worldwide; its mortality is rising as cardiovascular disease?s is falling
Globally, ~10% of people older than 40 have airflow limitation of GOLD stage 2 or worse (FEV1 < 80% predicted); up to 25% may have GOLD stage 1 (FEV1 ≥ 80% predicted but FEV1/FVC < 0.7).
Up to 60-85% of people with COPD (mostly mild/moderate severity) are undiagnosed.
Besides tobacco smoking, biomass exposure (wood burning stoves), secondhand smoke, air pollution and work exposures to fumes and dusts cause COPD in susceptible people.

WHO act sheet on the 10 leading causes of death. In 2021, the top 10 causes of death accounted for 39 million deaths, or 57% of the total 68 million deaths worldwide.
The top global causes of death, in order of total number of lives lost, are associated with two broad topics: cardiovascular (ischaemic heart disease, stroke) and respiratory (COVID-19, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lower respiratory infections), with COVID-19 emerging as the second leading causes of death globally.
