Question

Select the correct answer. COPD is inherited so there is no way to prevent it. A. True B. False Reset

​

Answer 1

Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation:

You can inherit it via genetics. You're more likely to develop COPD if you smoke and have a close relative with the condition, which suggests some people's genes might make them more vulnerable to the condition. Around 1 in 100 people with COPD has a genetic tendency to develop the condition, called alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency.
