Abstract
PURPOSE: In recent years, COPD has become an increasing problem among women. In the US, the absolute numbers of COPD cases, hospitalizations, and deaths among women have exceeded those among men. Many studies have suggested that COPD may be under-diagnosed among women. Obesity and smoking are independently associated with COPD, both of which have increased significantly in inner city areas. We conducted this study to better understand gender-based differences among patients with COPD at our institution that predominantly serves inner-city New-Yorkers.
