Subjects and methods. 3,000 people of the organized population working at various enterprises in Tashkent aged 20 to 60 years (1,400 (46.7%) women and 1,600 (53.3%) men) underwent the contemporary pulmonological screening.
Results. The active pulmonological screening aimed to detect COPD among organized groups has been justified; examination of 3,000 people allowed detecting 198 (6.6%) new patients additionally to 65 cases that were already known at the time of screening.
