According to a survey data, the detection rate of chronic obstructive pneumonia in men is three times higher than that in women, and 91.2% of them are caused by smoking.
The 19th is World Chronic Obstructive Pneumonia Day in 2008. Han Xiaohong, President of the Beijing Municipal Health Security Association, introduced at the media data conference on "World Chronic Obstructive Pneumonia Day" that the Beijing Municipal Health Security Association summarized the physical examination data of 2 million people from Ciming Medical Group over the past six years, and conducted a random sampling of 32510 physical examiners. The data analysis found that 35% of white-collar workers were diagnosed in a timely manner due to physical examination, while 15% were diagnosed in the hospital after experiencing symptoms.
Han Xiaohong said that nearly half of the people who undergo physical examinations with lung problems hold a disapproval attitude; Fifteen percent of the detected patients had significant difficulty breathing when climbing stairs or walking. After the physical examination, they were reminded by the medical personnel before they realized that there might be a problem with their lungs.
According to reports, COPD is commonly referred to as chronic bronchitis and obstructive pulmonary emphysema, and patients often die of respiratory failure. This disease has become the fourth largest killer of mankind. Currently, incomplete statistics show that about 32 million people in China suffer from this disease, and up to 1 million people die each year.
Zeng Yixin, an academician of the CAS Member, suggested that smoking cessation is necessary to prevent COPD; At the same time, regular physical examinations and lung function tests should be conducted every year. For those who are still smoking, it is even more important to exercise well, strengthen their physique, and reduce the risk of illness.
