• Description:
  Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a group of diseases of the
  
  lung for which there is no cure and that worsens over time (1). In 2023, COPD
  
  was the fifth leading cause of death in the United States, resulting in 141,733
  
  deaths. COPD incurs annual medical costs of $24 billion among adults age 45
  
  and older (2,3). The most common COPD types are emphysema and chronic
  
  bronchitis (1,3). This report uses 2023 National Health Interview Survey
  
  (NHIS) data to present age-adjusted estimates of COPD in adults age 18 and
  
  older by selected sociodemographic and health characteristics.
