Kuwedzera kwenyika dzichiri kusimukira pakati pa1970 na2000 kunofungidzirwa kuti kwakabatana nekuwedzera kwenhamba yevanoputa mudzimba idzi, kuwedzera kwevanhu uye kukwegura kwevanhu kunokonzerwa nekufa kwevanhu vashoma nekuda kwezvimwe zvinokonzera zvakadai sezvirwere zvinotapukira. Dzimwe nyika dzakabudirira dzakaona kuwedzera kwenhamba, dzimwe dzakaramba dzakadzikama uye dzimwe dzakaona kuderera kweCOPD.
