==Overview==
==Overview==
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a group of [[disease|diseases]] characterized by the pathological limitation of airflow in the [[airway]] that is not fully reversible. A full comprehensive diagnosis is needed to eliminate related conditions and isolate the influence of lifestyle and behavior risk factors on condition outcome. Some common risk factors are cigarette smoking, occupational pollutants, air pollution and genetics. Other risk factors are increasing age, male gender, allergy, repeated airway infection.
Common risk factors in the development of chronic bronchitis include cigarette smoking, air pollution, genetic factors, increasing age, male gender, [[allergy]], and repeated airway [[infections]].
