background</span><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In 1995, both the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and the European Respiratory Society (ERS) published data about the prevalence of airways obstruction in a general population as a plan to standardize the diagnosis of COPD.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8,9</span></a></p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">At that time, in Portugal, the information on the prevalence of respiratory diseases was scarce and

id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">For many years, early manifestations of COPD were unnoticed and undetectable, both by patients and physicians, because the respiratory function characterization of the inflammatory airway pathology was rarely requested.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0050"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a></p><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The implementation of a pulmonary function survey seemed to be an appropriate way of drawing attention to unknown symptoms and to measure disturbances, and at the same time to alert both population and practitioners to this health problem.</p><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The first Pneumobil Study took place in Portugal from 1995 to 1997 with the goal of estimating the prevalence of COPD, asthma and respiratory symptoms and characterizing the associated risk factors in the Portuguese population, including population above 18 years old.</p><p id="par0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In 1998 the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) was launched<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span></a> and in 2001 the guidelines<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0035"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a> for the classification of COPD were published. The main goals of GOLD are to increase awareness of COPD, decrease morbidity and mortality, and to improve prevention and management of COPD through a concerted worldwide effort by people involved in health care and health care policy-making, as well as to encourage a renewed research interest in this highly prevalent disease.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0035"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a></p><p id="par0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">One major problem that GOLD came up with was the incomplete information in many countries about the prevalence and causes of COPD.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0035"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a></p><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">By that time there were new consensual guidelines and the awareness that prevalence of COPD in a general population depended very much on the criteria used for airway obstruction definition, and data showed wide prevalence rates across countries.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0060"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span></a></p><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Considering these new aspects highlighted by GOLD, a new Prevalence Study was implemented, 2002 Prevalence Study, which aimed to estimate the prevalence rates of COPD and evaluate the severity of obstruction, smoking habits, and other risk factors in Portugal.

Nevertheless, some results are valid on their own.</p><p id="par0215" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Different figures for COPD prevalence were found in the two studies and diverse methodologies may explain these different values. In Pneumobil the age range was larger with individuals over 70 years being included. Even if the fixed ratio criteria for obstruction may overestimate the prevalence in this age range, it is possibly more real than the prevalence of the 2002 Study that excluded individuals of 70 and over. The COPD prevalence of the 2002 Study may be appropriate for the age range studied, but it is surely an underestimate for the general population.</p><p id="par0220" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The concern that older people could be missed because they might not come to centres (possible reason for the low overall prevalence in participants of 70 years and over in Pneumobil Study), was accounted for in the design of the 2002 Study that excluded this age range, but did not translate into significant different degrees of severity. Nevertheless, more severe stages of disease were found in Pneumobil (perhaps more severe cases volunteered to undergo testing) and this may have under-estimated the prevalence of COPD in 2002.</p><p id="par0225" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A different time frame is another reason for differences. The known prevalence of smoking habits in Portugal was not different in 1995 vs. 2002 (total 17.3% vs. 18.0%), except for a slight increase in female smokers (6.5% vs. 7.9%).<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0115"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">23</span></a></p><p id="par0230" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The lack of randomization is a possible reason for the low prevalence of smokers and ex-smokers in Pneumobil Study.</p><p id="par0235" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The occurrence of more female cases at younger ages in 2002 Study is in line with this time frame difference.</p><p id="par0240" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Although the participation rate of the 2002 Study was very low, the representative and random selection procedure of the included sample was assured, which is an added value for this study.</p><p id="par0245" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The fact that Pneumobil was not a truly randomized study, as individuals volunteered for the survey, is a possible factor for discrepancies between the two studies (people living far away from the collection sites might have been excluded). But in a sample of 12,684 individuals this bias would have been minimized and the bringing of the vehicle to people, who were worried about having the disease, may explain more severe COPD cases reached.</p><p id="par0250" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">As a protocol option, in the 2002 Study no bronchodilator was administered to test reversibility, mainly for ethical and operational reasons.

If for the Pneumobil Study we think that there is no reason for suspecting errors, for the 2002 Study it may not be the case. A possible limitation of the FVC value (software cutting values of low flows) is suspected because the median of FEV1/FVC ratio was higher than expected (84.4%). So, the prevalence rate estimated using fixed ratio criteria can, in fact, be underestimated in 2002 Study.</p><p id="par0265" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Consistent with others,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8,21,26</span></a> these studies also showed higher prevalence rates in men.
