ABSTRACT
The first national surveillance of COPD in mainland China was carried out in 2014,with the nationally representative data obtained.The national surveillance was significantly important for the monitoring of prevalence,risk factors,and changing trend of COPD among Chinese adults aged ≥ 40.The surveillance was also important in the development of national COPD prevention and control policy,the evaluation of prevention and control progress,the establishment of COPD comprehensive surveillance system,and the building of a professional COPD monitoring and prevention team.In this editorial,we briefly introduced the method and content of COPD surveillance,and reported the rate of spirometry examination and COPD awareness among adults aged ≥40 in China.We also analyzed the rate of main risk factors for COPD,such as tobacco smoking,occupational exposure to dust or chemical and indoor exposure to biomass or coal,and the distribution of high-risk population.This study provided fundamental data for the prevention and control of COPD in China.
