3️⃣ Genetic Factors
• Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD) — a rare inherited cause.
4️⃣ Age & Lung Development
• Diagnosed usually after 40, but damage can start earlier.
• Poor lung growth in childhood increases risk.
5️⃣ Respiratory Infections
• Frequent childhood infections can reduce lung function later.
6️⃣ Asthma or Chronic Airway Inflammation
• Long-term asthma may cause COPD-like airway obstruction.
7️⃣ Socioeconomic & Environmental Factors
• Poverty, limited healthcare access, and use of biomass fuels indoors.
