* Age-adjusted percentages are based on the 2000 U.S. Census Bureau standard population, using age groups 18–44, 45–64, 65–74, and ≥75 years, with 95% CIs indicated by error bars.
† Based on “yes” response to the survey question, “Have you ever been told by a doctor or other health professional that you had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD, emphysema, or chronic bronchitis?”
In 2023, the age-adjusted percentage of adults aged ≥18 years with diagnosed chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was 3.8%. The prevalence of COPD among adults increased as urbanization level decreased.
