Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a frequent disease from which approximately 8% of individuals aged 40 years and above suffer. The prevalence increases up to fivefold as age advances. Following an introduction including the etiology, measurement, characteristic features and classification of COPD, this article presents the consensus recommendations of the German Working Group on Pneumology in Older Patients. These include statements on the screening for frailty, dysphagia, malnutrition and cognitive impairment. The results are summarized with the final conclusion that adequate treatment of COPD can also slow the progression of cognitive decline and could potentially prevent or delay the onset of dementia.
慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）是一种常见疾病，40岁及以上人群中约8%的人患有此病。随着年龄增长，患病率会增加至五倍。在介绍了COPD的病因、测量方法、特征和分类之后，本文呈现了德国老年患者肺病学工作组的共识性建议。这些建议包括关于筛查衰弱、吞咽困难、营养不良和认知障碍的声明。文章总结了相关结果，并得出最终结论：对COPD进行充分治疗也可以减缓认知衰退的进程，并有可能预防或延缓痴呆症的发作。
