The average survival time for pneumoconiosis patients is about 20 years, but the exact length of life depends on the patient’s condition and his or her physical condition. If the disease is detected early and the patient is actively treated, the survival time can be extended by taking care of the patient. If the disease is detected later and the patient starts to have symptoms such as coughing, coughing up blood and difficulty in breathing, the survival time may be reduced. Patients with pneumoconiosis are advised to exercise properly to strengthen their health, to open windows frequently to keep indoor air convection, and to adjust their mindset to avoid negative emotions.
