Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, and through under-diagnosis, is often inappropriately treated. This multicomponent disease involves both airway and systemic inflammation at all stages and may influence the progression of disease and the pathophysiology of comorbidities. This review examines evidence linking inflammation, disease progression and comorbidities in COPD, and the potential role of anti-inflammatory therapies.
