Description:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) accounts for the majority of deaths from chronic lower respiratory Diseases, the fourth leading cause of death in the United States in 2019.* COPD Mortality rates are decreasing overall. Although rates in men remain higher than those in women, declines have occurred among men but not women (1). To examine the geographic variation in sex-specific Trends in age-adjusted COPD Mortality rates among adults aged ≥25 years, CDC analyzed 1999-2019 death Certificate data, by urban-rural status,| U.S. Census Bureau region,| and state. Among women, no significant change in overall COPD Mortality occurred during this period; however, rates increased significantly in small metropolitan (average annual percent change [AAPC] = 0.6%), micropolitan (1.2%), and noncore (1.9%) areas and in the Midwest (0.6%). Rates decreased significantly in large central (-0.9%) and fringe metropolitan (-0.4%) areas (and in the Northeast (-0.5%) and West (-1.2%). Among men, rates decreased significantly overall (-1.3%), in all urban-rural areas (range = -1.9% [large central metropolitan] to -0.4% [noncore]) and in all regions (range = -2.0% [West] to -0.9% [Midwest]). Strategies to improve the Prevention, treatment, and management of COPD are needed, especially to address geographic differences and improve the trend in women, to reduce COPD deaths.
