The prevalence of bronchiectasis increases with age with an 8- to 10-fold difference in prevalence after the age of 60 years (300 to 500 per 100,000) as compared to ages <40 to 50 years (40 to 50 per 100,000). Bronchiectasis is more common in women than in men.












The most common symptom of bronchiectasis is a persistent cough that brings up a large amount of phlegm on a daily basis. The phlegm can be clear, pale yellow or yellow-greenish in color. Other people may only occasionally cough up small amounts of phlegm, or none at all.
