Abstract: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a debilitating respiratory condition characterized by progressive airflow limitation and systemic manifestations. Epidemiological studies play a crucial role in understanding the burden, risk factors, and trends of COPD in different populations. This literature review aims to delve into the epidemiology of COPD by synthesizing existing research on its prevalence, incidence, risk factors, and associated comorbidities. The review highlights the global impact of COPD, disparities in its burden among different population groups, and the need for targeted interventions to reduce its prevalence and improve outcomes.

Keywords: COPD, epidemiology, prevalence, risk factors, comorbidities, burden
