Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a highly debilitating disease that poses a significant and increasing burden on women’s health. There is an increasing amount of information about gender-related differences in risk factors and the progression of COPD. However, very little attention is paid in scientific research and practice to COPD as a significant issue of women’s health. The challenges of COPD prevention in women can be overcome by a multi-vector approach, including increasing patient awareness of the disease, reducing the risk of its occurrence and further research on gender aspects (biological and cultural) that affect the risk of development and the rate of progression of COPD. The article reviews the current literature on this issue.
