How long to live at 60 with emphysema

The survival time for emphysema at age 60 is not generalized, but usually has a lot to do with the severity of the disease as well as its later treatment. Generally speaking, the earlier the disease is detected and treated, the less impact it will have on life expectancy, and it is recommended that patients undergo regular treatment as early as possible. Emphysema is a lung disease caused by over-inflation of the alveoli, resulting in increased lung volume and alveolar pressure. If the patient’s condition is not particularly serious, and the primary disease is controlled in time after a clear diagnosis of emphysema, the natural life expectancy is usually not affected. If the complication of pulmonary heart disease, obvious dyspnea, cardiac function decline, need to do home oxygen therapy and respiratory function exercise, if the disease is not well controlled, the impact on life expectancy is greater. The severity of emphysema varies, and the exact survival time cannot be accurately estimated. Active treatment should be given at a later stage to reduce the adverse effects of the disease.
