Introduction: COPD is the third most common cause of death in the world, with high morbidity and mortality. It causes an increasing socioeconomic burden. Aim: In our study, it was aimed to evaluate the awareness and knowledge level of university students about COPD. Methods: To evaluate the knowledge level of 408 university students between the ages of 18-24 on COPD, 11-item COPD Awareness Questionnaire was used prepared by the Ministry of Health. This questionnaire included questions to evaluate the attitudes, triggering, diagnosis and treatment of COPD. Results: A total of 408 students with an 18-24-year-old age group were enrolled in the COPD Awareness Questionnaire in Istanbul. Of the participants, 313 (76.7%) were female and 95 (23.7%) were male. 93.4% of the students responded correctly to the question of “COPD is a disease related to lungs”. When questioned whether COPD was a treatable disease, 52.2% of respondents answered yes and 29.2% said they did not have any idea. 80% of the students answered correctly to the question of “The most important cause of COPD is smoking”, while 9.8% of them did not know. Conclusions: As a result of our study, it is known that COPD is a lung disease and the most important risk factor is smoking by the majority of university students in our country. It was seen that the students were not fully informed about the tests required for the diagnosis of COPD and whether it could be treated. Considering that this young population will make up the majority of the elderly population after 20-30 years, we believe that raising the awareness of young people in this age group will contribute to the increase of COPD awareness in our country.

Introduction: COPD and CAD are common chronic diseases with shared risk factors. COPD continues to be largely underdiagnosed and undertreated. We aimed to describe the prevalence of COPD in Tunisian smokers with CAD Methods: In a cross-sectional study, patients over 35 years of age who underwent coronary angiography for suspected CAD and reported ≥10 pack-year of cigarette smoking were recruited. Spirometry was undertaken for all participants, and COPD was defined according to GOLD criteria. The finding of ≥50% coronary luminal narrowing confirmed the presence of CAD Results: Spirometry was undertaken for 122 men with mean age of 59.3 years and mean pack-year of 52.3. Mean CAD follow-up duration was 3.9 years. Diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia were the most common comorbidities. One or more threatening coronary lesions were found in 50% of patients. Echocardiography was normal in 45.9% of patients. The prevalence of COPD was 19.7%. Of the 24 patients with COPD,17 patients were newly diagnosed. Six patients had mild COPD,15 had moderate COPD,2 had severe COPD and 1 had very severe COPD. The mean FEV1 in COPD patients was 68.7%. COPD-related symptoms were:chronic cough(56%), dyspnea(76%) and wheezes(28%). Pulmonary arterial hypertension was observed in 36% of COPD patients. The comparison of patients with COPD with those without COPD showed that respiratory symptoms, chest-X-ray abnormality and pulmonary arterial hypertension were significantly more frequent in COPD patients Conclusion: There was a high prevalence of COPD among patients with CAD and most were underdiagnosed despite being symptomatic. Smokers with CAD and respiratory symptoms should be evaluated for airflow limitation

Introduction: Exposure to household air pollution (HAP) caused by biomass fuel combustion is associated with a wide range of adverse health outcomes. The poorest people living in the rural areas of low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have limited opportunities to switch to cleaner fuels. Objective: To evaluate effectiveness and acceptability of locally-tailored implementation of an improved cookstoves/heaters program in LMICs. Methods: Interventional implementation study in 649 adults and children living in rural communities in Uganda, Vietnam and Kyrgyzstan, performed after situational analyses and awareness programs. Outcomes included HAP exposure (PM2.5, CO), respiratory symptoms, chest infections, school absence and intervention acceptability. Measurements were conducted at baseline, at 2 months and 6-12 months after intervention. Results: After intervention, health outcomes diminished significantly in Uganda and Kyrgyzstan, and to a smaller extent in Vietnam. PM2.5 levels decreased by 31% to 65%. The figure shows mean PM2.5 with 95% confidence interval; p-value measured between baseline and 6-12 months. CO levels remained below WHO guidelines. Conclusions: Locally-tailored implementation of clean cookstoves/heaters had considerable effects on health outcomes and HAP, yet PM2.5 levels remained above WHO guidelines, especially in Uganda. Villagers indicated high acceptance of the new cookstoves/heaters.
