Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the household population aged 35 to 79, by age and sex, Canada, 2009 to 2011
Table summary
This table displays the ratio of Canadians 35 to 79 years of age with measured airflow obstruction consistent with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The row headers provide information for each age group overall and by sex. The column headers provide the estimate and confidence interval for the percentage of Canadians that were tested to have a measured airflow obstruction consistent with COPD and those who did not.

Note(s):
Airflow obstruction consistent with COPD is characterized by a forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio of less than 70% of the predicted value based on age, sex, height and racial background. Total household population aged 35 to 79, except those meeting the exclusion criteria (see the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) Data User Guide: Cycle 2).
