国际呼吸学会论坛发布了一份题为《世界呼吸系统疾病：今天的现实-明天的机遇》的报告。该报告确定了主要导致全球呼吸系统疾病负担的五种疾病（哮喘、慢性阻塞性肺病、急性呼吸道感染、结核病和肺癌），并提供了预防和治疗这些疾病的行动计划。它描述了全球肺部疾病负担的惊人程度：每年有数亿人患有呼吸道疾病，400万人过早死于呼吸道疾病。情况并非毫无希望，因为大多数主要呼吸道疾病是可以避免的。大部分疾病负担可以通过减少暴露于室内和室外空气污染、限制烟草使用和缓解城市过度拥挤来减轻。实施国际呼吸学会论坛呼吸系统疾病报告中描述的战略将对呼吸系统健康产生深远影响，降低经济成本，并加强世界卫生平等。
The Forum of International Respiratory Societies has released a report entitled Respiratory Disease in the World: Realities of Today-Opportunities for Tomorrow. The report identifies five conditions that primarily contribute to the global burden of respiratory disease (asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute respiratory infections, tuberculosis, and lung cancer), and offers an action plan to prevent and treat those diseases. It describes the staggering magnitude of the global burden of lung disease: hundreds of millions of people suffer and four million people die prematurely from respiratory diseases each year. The situation is not hopeless, because most major respiratory illnesses are avoidable. Much of the disease burden can be mitigated by reducing exposure to indoor and outdoor air pollution, restraining tobacco use, and relieving urban overcrowding. Implementation of the strategies described in the Forum of International Respiratory Societies respiratory diseases report would have a profound effect on respiratory health, reduce economic costs, and enhance health equality in the world.
