Decreased COPD prevalence in Sweden after decades of decrease in smoking
Abstract Background COPD has increased in prevalence worldwide over several decades until the first decade after the millennium shift. Evidence from a few recent population studies indicate that the prevalence may be levelling or even decreasing in some areas in Europe. Since the 1970s, a substantia...
