The forecast for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD) mortality among Brazilian women shows a gradual increase in rates from 2024 through 2028. With mortality rates increasing from 21.2 in 2024 to 22.5 per hundred thousand women by 2028, this reflects a slight uptick in the burden of COPD among females. Compared to the year 2023, where the actual data stood at 21.0, the year-on-year variations from 2024 to 2028 indicate an annual average percentage increase, culminating in a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) that shows steady growth over the five-year period.
Future trends to monitor include:
- The impact of public health initiatives targeting air quality and smoking cessation.
- Potential advancements in healthcare access and treatments that could alter these projections.
- Demographic shifts and urbanization, which could influence exposure to risk factors.
