Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by the presence of chronic bronchitis and emphysema, making statement A correct. There is statistical evidence linking COPD to periodontal infections, as indicated in statement B. However, while statistical links have been established, the pathophysiological influence of periodontal infections on COPD (how these infections directly contribute to or exacerbate COPD at a biological or disease mechanism level) has not been definitively shown, making statement C also accurate. Therefore, all of the statements are correct.
