Professor Seglani explains that there is evidence that COPD is determined in early life. 
Childhood asthma is one of the main contributing factor, some of other factors are pneumonia, viral illness in the first 3 years and also antenatal exposures like maternal smoking. To prevent COPD in adulthood it is important to intervene in the first 5 or 6 years of life.
