COPD Gold Questionaire – For the Curious…

The Gold Questionnaire:
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of illness, yet many people have it and don’t know it.
If you answer these questions, it will help you find out if you could have COPD.
This short interactive questionnaire was developed by GOLD and has been scientifically evaluated and shown to identify people who are more likely to have COPD.

Question 1
Do you cough several times most days? Yes No

Question 2
Do you bring up phlegm or mucus most days? Yes No

Question 3
Do you get out of breath more easily than others your age? Yes No

Question 4
Are you older than 40 years? Yes No

Question 5
Are you a current smoker or an ex-smoker? Yes No
