title: [Comorbidities with COPD].
abstract: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a systemic inflammatory disorder and age-related disorder associated with increased prevalence of comorbid diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, and pulmonary complications such as lung cancer. We described here the clinical significance of comorbid diseases with COPD and briefly review the mechanism in the production of comorbid diseases.
