This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence, trends, and risk factors of early chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by using a nationally representative sample. The datasets of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2010–2019 were used, where 80,860 individuals were identified; of these, 9,045 participants aged 40–49 years who underwent spirometry with no missing data were analyzed. Early COPD was defined as forced expiratory volume in 1 s /forced vital capacity ratio &lt; the lower limit of normal (2.5th percentile) in individuals aged &lt;50 years without a history of asthma, inhaler therapy, or persistent respiratory symptoms. The prevalence and trend of early COPD were estimated according to features such as smoking status and pack-years. Joinpoint regression analysis was used to analyze the significant annual change in the trend according to sex, smoking status, and pack-years. A complex sample multivariable-adjusted regression model was used to identify factors affecting early COPD. The estimated population size during 2010–2019 was 82,326,178. Early COPD was present in 4.5% of patients (6.5% of men and 2.3% of women). It was present in 7.7% of current smokers, followed by former and never smokers. Among smokers with ≥ 10 pack-years, early COPD was present in 8.2%, whereas it was present in 2.6% of smokers with &lt; 10 pack-years. Joinpoint regression analyses found a recent decrease in the trend of prevalence in males who were former and current smokers. The multivariable-adjusted logistic regression model showed that being male, lower educational level, smoking status, and pack-years were factors that affected the presence of early COPD. Continued surveillance of this pre-disease condition is required, and further research are warrant.
