6. Emphysema Life Expectancy - Living With Emphysema

The incidence of Emphysema and Chronic Bronchitis is typically simultaneous, and these conditions are therefore usually diagnosed & treated together as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The largest single cause of COPD in the US is recognized to be Tobacco Smoking, and it is fully accepted that smoking, and the occurrence of COPD, both decrease average life expectancy.

According to the US National Institutes of Health, for a 65 year old:

- If you smoke you may expect to decrease your life expectancy by about 3.5 years

- If you have Stage 1 COPD you may expect to further decrease your life expectancy by about an additional 0.3 years

- If you have Stage 2 COPD you may expect to further decrease your life expectancy by about an additional 2.2 years

- If you have Stage 3 COPD you may expect to further decrease your life expectancy by about an additional 5.8 years

- If you have Stage 4 COPD you may expect to further decrease your life expectancy by about an additional 5.8 years

Note: The COPD Stages referenced in this study refer to the GOLD classification.
