title: [Incidence of bronchitis in Vienna. Studies on the detection of the incidence of chronic bronchitis in Vienna].
abstract: Exact epidemiological studies about the frequency of respiratory tract disease are difficult to perform. Vague definitions and inhomogeneous examination modalities render a comparison of results difficult. Some statements can be made. Chronic bronchitis occurs more often in males. The significance increases with advancing age. Smoking habits are of utmost importance. Indoor and outdoor air pollution is without doubt a significant agent in the etiology of chronic respiratory disease.
