World COPD Day in Denmark

World COPD Day is held on Wednesday, November, 19th, 2008

In Denmark we have chosen to focus on Shortness of breath, and emphasize that this is not a trivial symptom, but must be taken seriously and examined thoroughly. Shortness of breath at exertion is the most common symptom with COPD - a disease that is growing rapidly. New and alarming figures from Denmark show that at least 300.000 people suffer from COPD, an increase from previous estimates of 50 %.

With five simple questions you can test if you are At risk for COPD and should have your pulmonary function tested.

The following material and overview of local activities for World COPD Day from 2003 to 2007 will only be available in the danish language.
