Abstract:
Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are main chronic respiratory diseases in adulthood,which bring a heavy burden to society and economy.The adulthood asthma and COPD originate from childhood.Atopy and certain respiratory viral infection are the risk factors of asthma.Some factors in childhood including premature,childhood asthma,serious lung infection,air pollution,active smoking will damage pulmonary function in adulthood,which contribute to COPD onset.Strategies such as preventing premature birth and controlling asthma will reduce the burden of chrouic respiratory diseases in adults.
