dc.description.abstractBackground Both the prevalence and mortality attributable to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) seem to be increasing in low-income and middle-income countries, but few data are available. The aim of the PLATINO study, launched in 2002, was to describe the epidemiology of COPD in five major Latin American cities: Sao Paulo (Brazil), Santiago (Chile), Mexico City (Mexico), Montevideo (Uruguay), and Caracas (Venezuela).
dc.description.abstractMethods A two-stage sampling strategy was used in the five areas to obtain probability samples of adults aged 40 years or older. These individuals were invited to answer a questionnaire and undergo anthropometry, followed by prebronchodilator and postbronchodilator spirometry. We defined COPD as a ratio less than 0.7 of postbronchodilator forced expiratory volume in the first second over forced vital capacity.
dc.description.abstractFindings Complete information, including spirometry, was obtained from 963 people in Sao Paulo, 1173 in Santiago, 1000 in Mexico City, 885 in Montevideo, and 1294 in Caracas. Crude rates of COPD ranged from 7.8% (78 of 1000; 95% CI 5.9-9.7) in Mexico City to 19.7% (174 of 885; 17.2-22.2) in Montevideo. After adjustment for key risk factors, the prevalence of COPD in Mexico City remained significantly lower than that in other cities.
dc.description.abstractInterpretation These results suggest that COPD is a greater health problem in Latin America than previously realised. Altitude may explain part of the difference in prevalence. Given the high rates of tobacco use in the region, increasing public awareness of the burden of COPD is important.
