Abstract

Respiratory diseases are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally, affecting people of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds. These conditions, which range from acute infections like pneumonia to chronic diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), place a significant burden on healthcare systems and communities. This article explores the classification, causes, symptoms, risk factors, and prevention of major respiratory diseases. Emphasis is placed on early diagnosis, lifestyle modifications, vaccination, and environmental control to improve respiratory health outcomes.
