Abstract

|
COPD is a chronic respiratory disease with a high disease burden, and would be affected by the genetic-environmental exposure-time interaction. In order to reduce the burden of disease including prevalence, it is necessary to recognize changes in the early stages of the disease and to improve the course of the disease before the disease develops at a specific period following exposure to risk factors for a considerable period of time. The concept of early COPD has emerged for early intervention to recover the disease progression, and this concept needs to be distinguished from mild COPD, and it is necessary to predict early COPD at an appropriate time point. Several efforts have been made to predict early COPD through pathological changes in the terminal and transitional bronchioles, but effort on more convenient and simple biomarkers will be needed in the future.
