We have searched the references, mainly, in the following databases: PUBMED, Scielo, Lilacs, Scopus and Dialnet between 13th November 2015 and 11th December 2015. To select some articles, we have used inclusion ways criteria such as the subject of the study and the publication dates.
Results. The population which is more associated with COPD is found between 40-80 years old. Most of them are smokers. Within the group of smokers, the prevalence of consumption of tobacco is higher in men than in women. This disease causes a 27% of deaths associated with tobacco in Spain.

This ignorance, along with the premature age to start smoking, which is the main risk factor, imply cause a high prevalence of this disease in a older age. Therefore, the main prevention measures are healthy habits and stop to smoke stopping smoking, among others.
