Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in Redbridge — recorded prevalence and emergency admissions.

Plain-English context

0.6% of patients registered at GP practices in Redbridge had COPD on their register in 2024/25. The age-standardised emergency admission rate was 241.1 per 100,000 residents aged 35 and over in 2023/24. Admissions count episodes, not unique people. Register prevalence is not age-adjusted. COPD is associated with smoking and long-term exposure to fumes and dust; these area figures do not measure anyone’s personal risk.
