“…In the adult populations of Europe, North America and Australia, the incidence of COPD ranges from 4 to 10% [17], and is predicted to continue rising in European countries until at least the year 2030 [18]. Few studies have examined the incidence of COPD in Poland, and the available data varies considerably, mainly due to the age of the studied populations; however, the most recent nationwide study found 20% of patients aged 60 years or older in the selected health care centers to be affected by COPD [19].…”

“…A worsening prognosis, multiple comorbidities, and readmission contribute to depression in patients with chronic diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) [ 2 , 3 ]. In addition, asthma is associated with depression in elderly people [ 4 ]. Therefore, recent studies have extensively investigated the relationship of depression with asthma and COPD.…”

“…The hypoxemia status causes the systemic inflammation, associated [ 9 ] with Interferon gamma (IFNγ), the tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) [ 10 ], and oxidative stress [ 11 ] leading to direct neuronal damage, as well as depletion of neurotransmitters because of the dysfunction of oxygen-dependent enzymes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) [ 12 ]. ACOS [ 13 ] is the concurrent occurrence of asthma [ 9 ] and COPD [ 14 ]. The high frequency of ACOS [ 15 ] with exacerbation aggravate systemic inflammation [ 12 ] and hypoxemia [ 16 ].…”

“…The high frequency of ACOS [ 15 ] with exacerbation aggravate systemic inflammation [ 12 ] and hypoxemia [ 16 ]. Therefore, the patients with ACOS may be associated with the neurodegenerative diseases [ 9 , 16 , 17 ], especially these patients of asthma or COPD with exacerbation [ 18 ] and deterioration of hypoxemia [ 17 19 ]. This speculation didn’t examined in detail up to today in English literature.…”
