Development of Impaired Lung Function: Natural History and Risk Factors

  • Chapter
Book cover Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Abstract

The definition of COPD adopted in this chapter is that proposed by Burrows [1]:

‘A chronic, slowly progressive airway obstruction disorder resulting from some combination of pulmonary emphysema and irreversible reduction in the calibre of small airways of the lung’.
