    CHD and COPD are major causes of morbidity and mortality, with co-existence contributing significantly to health burdens in aging populations.

    The prevalence of CHD-COPD co-morbidity remained stable at approximately 0.35%–0.43% annually from 2020 to 2024, with no statistically significant increase.

  • 3

    Older age, male sex, lower income, and Southern residence were identified as strong independent predictors of CHD-COPD co-morbidity.

  • 4

    Current and former smokers had approximately 5–6 times higher odds of having CHD-COPD co-morbidity compared to non-smokers.

    The study utilized data from the 2020−2024 National Health Interview Survey to analyze trends and disparities in CHD-COPD co-morbidity.
