Abstract
As of this moment, the human society has reached an age that is higher than has ever been shown in history. Age-related diseases are increasing and so is the evidence for the relationship between chronic inflammatory diseases and aging. One of the most common causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide is the lung disease Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). COPD is an irreversible and progressive chronic inflammatory lung disease which affects millions of people worldwide. The disease is characterized by chronic bronchitis and emphysema and major risk factors for the progression and initiation of COPD are cigarette smoke and aging. Several studies showed that the pathogenesis of COPD is associated with an accelerated form of aging in the lung.
