Abstract

Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains a significant health concern globally and spatiotemporal investigations on the etiology and progression of COPD are needed to develop more effective and timely preventive measures. To address this continuing need, we explored the association of air-quality and meteorological markers, fruit and vegetable consumption and drinking water source trajectories with COPD death rate.
