“…The prevalence of doctor-diagnosed COPD was 8.9% overall, 13.8% for women, and 5.4% for men. These findings were consistent with the findings of Gunen et al (20) who reported that the level of participants with a doctor-diagnosed COPD was 7.9% in Malatya. This rate was 5.6% for both men and women in Salzburg, Austria (27).…”

“…Similarly, the BOLD study reported the prevalence of COPD that was stage II or higher in Adana to be 5.3% and 5.9% for men and women who had never smoked. In another epidemiologic study conducted in Malatya city in Turkey, the prevalence of COPD in residents >40 years of age was 9.1%, while the prevalence was 18.1% in smoking subjects >40 years of age (20). Of note, a high prevalence of COPD was also noted in neversmokers (10.5%).…”

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an important cause of mortality worldwide.Aims: The aim of this study was to establish the prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in residents who were ≥40 years old and living in a heavily industrialised city of Turkey, Kocaeli, using the Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease Initiative questionnaire.Study Design: Cross-sectional study.Methods: 1035 residents ≥40 years old and living in Kocaeli were surveyed. Spirometry and the basic BOLD questionnaire was performed.Results: 946 subjects entered into the analysis. The prevalence of stage I or higher COPD was 13.3% (8.7% for women and 16.5% for men), the prevalence of COPD at GOLD stage II or higher was 7.1% (4.1% for women and 9.2% for men). We also noted a high prevalence of COPD in never-smokers. Conclusion:Besides cigarette smoking, occupational exposure to fumes, chemicals and dusts might have also contributed to the high prevalence of COPD noted in residents who were ≥40 years old and living in Kocaeli, Turkey.

“…Biomass exposure was significantly common among female patients living in rural areas (54.5%). In the genesis of COPD, the relative risk ratio of cigarette smoke was found to be 3.4 and 3.3 times higher than biomass exposure and occupational exposure[9]. …”

Chronic respiratory diseases involve a heterogenous group of diseases, including, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, sleep apnea syndrome, pulmonary hypertension, and many occupational diseases. They affect more than one billion people worldwide. Their medical, social, and economic impacts are heavy, especially in developing countries such as Middle East and North Africa countries, where they represent a public health problem. They are essentially represented by COPD, asthma, and allergic diseases. Chronic respiratory diseases are increasing in frequency, morbidity, and mortality. In addition, their economic and social impact is increasing rapidly in this region. Main risk factors are represented by tobacco smoking and exposure to biomass fuel. Smoking prevention and standardized management programs for asthma and COPD are now available but prompt actions are needed to make them more effective in this region and thus avoid an adverse impact on national economic development.

SummaryChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a difficult to treat progressive disease. About 14.7-68.6 % of COPD cases are not related to smoking. We examined 21 nonsmokers with COPD, 20 smokers with COPD, 20 healthy nonsmokers and 21 healthy smokers. Relative number of peripheral blood T lymphocytes containing CCR5 and CXCR3 chemokine receptors was determined by flow cytometry. CXCR3 + and CCR5 + T cell per cent number was increased in non smokers with COPD compared with healthy non smokers. A higher proportion of T cells containing CCR5 and CXCR3 receptors on the cell surface was also observed in blood of smokers with COPD compared both to healthy smokers and non smokers. Our findings suggest similar mechanism of T cells migration from blood into the airways both in non smoking and smoking patients.
