Offers resources on lung disorders and diseases or other conditions affecting the respiratory system and breathing, including the signs and symptoms, prevention, treatment or care and control, and causes and risk factors.
Over 3 million Canadians must cope with serious respiratory diseases - asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer, influenza and pneumonia, bronchiolitis, tuberculosis (TB), cystic fibrosis, and respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). These diseases affect people of all ages. While in the past COPD and lung cancer have affected primarily men, the increase in smoking among women in the past 50 years has resulted in the increased incidence and prevalence of some of these diseases among women.
