Chronic respiratory diseases are among the most common non-communicable diseases worldwide, largely due to the ubiquity of noxious environmental, occupational, and behavioural inhalational exposures. 1 In addition to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma, chronic respiratory diseases include interstitial lung disease, pulmonary sarcoidosis, and pneumoconioses, such as silicosis and asbestosis. Unfortunately, chronic respiratory diseases have received proportionately less public attention and less research funding than other disease entities such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease. 2, 3 Therefore, to better inform prevention, screening, treatment, and research efforts dedicated to chronic respiratory diseases, it is crucial to understand their prevalence, morbidity, and mortality, both on global and regional scales.
