Remarkable overlap exists in symptoms between asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and the symptoms of the patients with mild asthma are often falsely thought to be caused by smoking. The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence of doctor-diagnosed asthma, asthmatic symptoms and doctor-diagnosed COPD in an adult population. The prevalence and relation to asthma of aspirin intolerance, nasal polyposis, allergic rhinitis and smoking habits were also examined.
