COPD is a chronic respiratory condition that affects 1 in every 5 seniors in the United States. It is a progressive disease that makes it challenging to breathe and can significantly impact daily life. Some people do not take it seriously enough and mistake it for just “coughing.” But in fact, COPD is the third-leading cause of death worldwide. By understanding COPD and its management, seniors can take proactive steps to improve their respiratory health and overall well-being.
