"Shock results show 1 in 10 has lung disease
DOCTORS spotted potentially deadly abnormalities in more than one in 10 people they tested for lung disease in Glasgow last weekend.
In one of the biggest exercises of its kind, some of the world’s top specialists examined more than 1000 volunteers in a tent in George Square on Saturday and Sunday.
Today, in a shock result, they said they had told 11% of people who came for the tests to see their own doctors after uncovering abnormalities in their breathing.
Doctors, who carried out the test during a huge conference of European lung specialists in Glasgow, had expected to find traces of lung disease in just 6% of volunteers.
Glasgow was last month named as Europe’s lung disease capital.
More people in the city per head of population suffer from conditions like chronic bronchitis and emphysema than anywhere else.
The conditions, now grouped together and called Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or COPD, kill 52 Scots a day and affect one in five smokers.
But half of sufferers don’t even know they have COPD, which is usually associated with smoking.
Professor Bill MacNee, of Edinburgh University, said: "The research confirms our fears that many people are suffering from COPD and other lung diseases and are totally unaware.
"The horrifying point is that 41% of those with problems were non-smokers and 31% had stopped smoking. The only positive aspect in the figures is that the percentage of those referred was below the anticipated national average of 20% of adult smokers.
"During the last five days there has been a marvellous response to our public awareness programme on COPD.
"Before this weekend many people suffered from the disease but did not know it.
“From the response and positive reaction we have enjoyed over the weekend many more people in Scotland are aware of this killer disease than ever before.”
People visiting the tent came from all over Scotland, although most were from the Glasgow area.
They ranged from a 19-year-old student to a 85-year-old mountaineer.
Glasgow has by far Scotland’s worst record on COPD with the poorest areas affected most.
In Shettleston, one in 100 people will go to hospital suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - the highest rate of the illness in Scotland.
This compares with one in 1000 people in affluent west Renfrewshire.
More than 14,000 doctors attended the European Respiratory Society conference in Glasgow, which ended yesterday.
