The article presents data on the dynamics of the incidence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the adult population of Cherepovets. 23 people aged 42-74 years were examined. In the course of the study, preventive measures were proposed to reduce the increase in morbidity and improve the quality of life of people with COPD. To assess the functional state of individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a 6-minute stress test (6-MCT) was used, and the degree of dyspnea was assessed using the Borg scale. In the process of implementing preventive measures, their effectiveness and significant improvement in the functional state of persons with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are shown.
