Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): deprivation data
Deprivation and secondary care
Chart 1 for males and Chart 2 for females show the strong relationship between COPD and deprivation. The figures show that the rate of admissions with a diagnosis of COPD is higher for people living in the most deprived areas of Scotland and lowest for those in the least deprived areas. More information on COPD admissions by deprivation can be found in the ScotPHO profiles tool.
