Abstract
In recent years, the number of deaths from chronic obstructive lung disease has been increasing at an alarming rate in the United States. Three different reasons for this increase may be listed: (1) more people are surviving other diseases and living to the age at which chronic obstructive lung disease tends to kill; (2) the ability to recognize chronic obstructive lung disease has improved and. increasingly, this disease ls being identified on death certificates as the cause of deaths formerly attributed, in particular, to heart failure and pneumonia; and, (3) a true 1nc·rease in the incidence and severity of this disease has occurred
