Abstract
Among all the diseases of the lungs and airways, chronic respiratory diseases are
the major concern to public health. Chronic respiratory diseases are a group of
chronic conditions that can affect all age groups, last many years, and greatly limit
the physical abilities of people suffering from them. Together, asthma and chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the two most important respiratory diseases,
are likely to affect more than 500 million people all over the world. For the
control of these diseases, which have extremely high direct and indirect costs, the
most cost-effective interventions are often represented by the removal of the risk
factors and by people health education.
