The forecasted data for chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) mortality among women in the UK shows a slow but steady increase in values from 48.6 deaths per hundred thousand in 2024 to 49.6 in 2028. Comparing these values with the 2023 figure of 48.4, the year-on-year increase is minor yet consistent.
The year-on-year increase for 2024 to 2025 is approximately 0.41%, from 2025 to 2026 is 0.61%, and from 2026 to 2027 is 0.61%, highlighting a gradual upward trend. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2023 to 2028 indicates a modest growth rate over five years.
Future trends to watch for:
- Healthcare advances that focus on reducing COPD risk factors could alter mortality trends.
- Policy changes addressing air quality and smoking cessation programs might significantly impact future rates.
