Risk factors for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in never‐smokers: A systematic review

Relatively little is known about the risk factors for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in never‐smokers, and these factors have not yet been fully characterised. This study therefore sought to analyse COPD risk factors in never‐smokers by conducting a systematic review of the literature on the topic.
