Half of British adults misunderstand COPD, despite high awareness, risking delayed treatment and poorer health outcomes.
A recent survey found that half of British adults have limited understanding of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), despite 87% awareness of the condition.
COPD, costing the NHS £2 billion annually and linked to 30,000 deaths per year, is often misunderstood in terms of its causes, such as smoking and air pollution, and symptoms like shortness of breath.
Lack of awareness may lead to delayed treatment and fewer lifestyle changes that could protect lung health.
