What Is Already Known About This Topic?:
China has the world's most significant public health and economic burden of chronic respiratory disease. However, the association between preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) and mortality risk is unknown.
What Is Added By This Report?:
The PRISm group exhibited a 37% higher risk of all-cause mortality than the normal group, and the risks of death from cardiovascular diseases, neoplasms, respiratory diseases, and infectious and parasitic diseases were also increased in PRISm. Moreover, the presence of respiratory symptoms or disease was associated with an increased risk of mortality in PRISm.
What Are The Implications For Public Health Practice?:
It is imperative to enhance public awareness of PRISm and to implement measures to facilitate the regression of PRISm toward normal lung function.

Symptoms of COPD can be classified as primary or systemic. Primary symptoms relate to reduced airflow, while systemic or extrapulmonary symptoms relate to COPD's broader impact on the body.

01:22Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Smoking is a primary risk factor for COPD, with over 80% of patients having a history of it. Patients typically experience progressive dyspnea or labored breathing, frequent coughing, and recurrent pulmonary infections. Many eventually succumb to respiratory failure, characterized by...
