“…In the current study, the overall prevalence of the COPD among men above 30 years of age was 15.8% which is comparable to the study done by Satoru Fukuyama et al of 14.6% [8] . In contrast a study conducted by Mohamed Saleem et al reported a higher prevalence of 39.2% [13] .…”

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major public health problem with increasing prevalence especially in developing countries. Different studies show higher prevalence of COPD among men compare to women across the country. Hence this study was undertaken to estimate the prevalence of COPD among men, and to find out the risk factors of COPD among males in Chidambaram. Methods: A community based cross sectional study was done in Chidambaram among males more than 30 years of age. 392 study participants were selected by cluster sampling method. A semi structured questionnaire was used to collect the background information and spirometer was used to measure FEV1 and FVC ratio. Results: The Prevalence of COPD was 15.8% in the study population. Prevalence was significantly higher among older males, smokers and study participants with long duration of ETS and occupational exposure to dust and fumes. Conclusions: There is significant association between COPD and the age, smoking status, long duration of ETS exposure and occupational exposure with p value <0.05. Hence awareness and screening can be carried out among male population.

“…In the present study the Sample Size is Determined with the help of following method. According to Saleem et al, the prevalence of COPD is 22.1% [13]. Hence, we chose p=22.1 %, q= 1-p i.e.…”

“…The prevalence in males was 39.2% and females was 12.2%. Prevalence was higher among increasing age, males, illiterate, smokers, poor ventilation and those using biomass fuels [13]. Though COPD is common among older age group, the prevalence in younger age is also of public health importance as they would be continuously exposed to the risk factors.…”

There is an overlap of risk factors between heart disease and COPD like cigarette smoking, sedentary lifestyle and old age. The economic burden of COPD is also very high. It is now proven that the only strategy which can reduce COPD incidence is cessation of smoking. The Aim of the present research is to study the Two-dimensional transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE) findings in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).The method is that all the enrolled patients were subjected to chest radiography, pulmonary function test, Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiogram and Doppler study, according to the standard protocol. The findings in our study are consistent with previous studies about the COPD. Total 111(60.7%) of the patients had echocardiographic evidence of pulmonary hypertension and 83(45.4%) of the patients in this study had evidence of cor pulmonale. We found significant difference between the duration of smoking and severity of the disease based on FEV1 values (p= 0.005). A significant moderate inverse correlation existed between pack years of smoking and FEV1 scores. (r= - 0.379, P < 0.001).

“…Such studies pertain mainly to the field of medical sciences but do help us in assessing the quantified effect of pollution on women. In a study of COPD, [3] observed its prevalence among adults in Tamil Nadu to be 22.1% with women facing 12.2% of the illness. In the context of other nations, [4] observed in a study of French households that IAP cost approximately EUR 20 billion in 2004.…”

Abstract: Clean air is considered the fountain of life that enables humankind to sustain healthy lives while supporting unique ecosystems of the Earth. The United Nations, being the supreme policymaking body in the world, has duly stated that "clean air is a human right". The underlying reason for this derives itself from gruesome statistics asserting that between 6 and 7 million people die prematurely each year due to air pollution, and around 90% of the global pollution breathes polluted air. Being the existential threat pollution is, most of it is caused by burning of fossil fuels that contributes not only to climate change but also deteriorating human health. A significant portion of air pollution is constituted by indoor air pollution through carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions, which has been a major cause of concern for India. It has been observed that 9 out of 10 people in India breathe air that breached safe limits and 7 million people die each year due to household air pollution through exposure to fine particles causing cardiovascular diseases, lung cancer and other pulmonary diseases. Women form a significant portion of such sufferers, whereby, a WHO report has found that mothers were more likely to deliver underweight babies in households with indoor air pollution from solid fuels. Associated with this, is the issue of increasing household expenditure on health vis-à-vis women. This paper examines the impact of such indoor pollution on women vis-à-vis health costs as part of their household expenditure allocations. Observations emphasise the need to reverse such trend of increasing indoor air pollution while moving on to a phase of employing greener fuels and technologies among households, and associated sensitive policymaking. This is expected to not only increase the standard of health among women of different strata but also will propel the productivity of human capital on a per capita basis.
