What is COPD? A #group of #diseases that cause #airflow blockage and #breathing problems. Includes Emphysema and Chronic Bronchitis. @LungAssociation @AmericanLungTexas

According to the Centers for Disease Control and #Prevention, the following #states have the highest rates of #COPD: West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Ohio, Indiana, and Missouri. #COPDAwarenessMonth

COPD is more than #twice as common in rural areas. Air pollution from occupational exposures to dust, fumes, smoke, or chemicals from jobs like #farming, mining, or #manufacturing and higher rates of smoking in rural #communities can increase the risk of developing #COPD.
