NEW YORK, April 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:
http://www.reportlinker.com/p0484886/Epidemiology-COPD-in-India.html
In 2010, almost 24 million adults over the age of 40 in India had COPD. Datamonitor expects this number to increase 34% to approximately 32 million by 2020. COPD is predominately a disease of men and only 40% of cases in India occur in women. Over the forecast period, the growth in the number of total prevalent cases of COPD will be primarily driven by demographic changes.Gain insight to market potential, including a robust 10-year epidemiology forecast of COPD prevalent cases in India.Understand the key epidemiologic risk factors associated with COPD in India.The strong association between age and COPD means that the prevalence of COPD in the future will be especially sensitive to the increased survival that will result as access to healthcare increases; even though the disease is irreversible, its progress can be significantly slowed by quitting smoking and seeking medical care.Fewer than half of the estimated 23.68 million prevalent cases in 2010 were in the population between the ages of 40 and 60 years (8.25 million), which indicates that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease of the aged in India.The number of men with COPD in 2010 (approximately 14.11 million) was one and a half times the number of women with COPD in 2010 (approximately 9.57 million); this pattern will continue through 2020. The most obvious explanation for this is the higher smoking rates in men than women in India.What are the most robust epidemiological studies for COPD prevalence in India?How will the patient population change over the next decade in the India?
