COPD is a lung disease that hits women harder than men: women develop it at a younger age, with less tobacco exposure and have a faster decline in lung function. COPD is also an under-diagnosed disease in both men and women. Early detection is essential so that actions can be taken to slow down the progression of COPD and maintain as much lung function as possible. If you think your shortness of breath may be COPD, contact your doctor.
