The 5-year life expectancy for people with COPD ranges from 40% to 70%, depending on disease severity. This means that 5 years after diagnosis 40 to 70 out of 100 people will be alive. For severe COPD, the 2-year survival rate is just 50%.

While the overall survival rate is five years for those with stage 4 lung cancer, that doesn't mean you will not live beyond five years. You and your doctor will need to factor the different situations to give you your prognosis.

About 5 out of 10 people will survive for at least 5 years after having a lung transplant, with many people living for at least 10 years. There have also been reports of some people living for 20 years or more after a lung transplant.

As chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) worsens, the flow of air to and from your lungs gets increasingly limited making it gradually more difficult to breathe. Once you've reached Stage II COPD, otherwise known as moderate COPD, your lung function becomes reduced to between 50% and 79% of the predicted normal.

Air sacs (called alveoli). It's common for people to have both types of COPD—chronic bronchitis and emphysema. About 1 out of 5 people who have smoked at least one pack of cigarettes each day for at least 10 years “gets” COPD. Unfortunately, there's no way to identify those at risk for developing emphysema.

People with MND become increasingly disabled. Life expectancy after diagnosis is one to five years, with 10 per cent of people with MND living 10 years or more.

Currently, about half of people with cystic fibrosis will live past the age of 40. Children born with the condition nowadays are likely to live longer than this.

On average, people with vascular dementia live for around five years after symptoms begin, less than the average for Alzheimer's disease. In many cases, the person's death will be caused by a stroke or heart attack.

The duration of an attack can vary, depending on what caused it and how long the airways have been inflamed. Mild episodes may last only a few minutes; more severe ones can last from hours to days. Mild attacks can resolve spontaneously or may require medication, typically a quick-acting inhaler.

The resulting difficulty in breathing leads to lower levels of oxygen in the bloodstream. In general, the life expectancy with IPF is about three years. When faced with a new diagnosis, it's natural to have lots of questions. You're probably wondering what you can expect in terms of your outlook and life expectancy.

Median survival time was 138 months for patients with no impairment, 106 months for those with mild impairment, and 63 months for those with moderate to severe impairment.

Lung disease eventually worsens to the point where the person is disabled. Today, the average life span for people with CF who live to adulthood is about 37 years.

ALS is fatal. The average life expectancy after diagnosis is two to five years, but some patients may live for years or even decades. (The famous physicist Stephen Hawking, for example, lived for more than 50 years after he was diagnosed.) There is no known cure to stop or reverse ALS.

How does Alpha-1 lung disease affect my life expectancy? People who continue to smoke and have Alpha-1 lung disease, have an average life expectance of about 60 years of age.

According to research, on average, people with Parkinson's can expect to live almost as long as those who don't have the disorder. While the disease itself isn't fatal, related complications can reduce life expectancy by 1 to 2 years.

Unfortunately, LBD is a progressive disease (usually over years), although the rate of progression varies. In general, the lifespan of patients diagnosed with LBD varies from about 5 to 8 years. Patients die from multiple complications (immobility, falls, poor nutrition, swallowing difficulties, or pneumonia).

Although the life expectancy of a person with ALS averages about two to five years from the time of diagnosis, the disease is variable. Many people can live with the disease for five years or longer. In fact, more than half of all people with ALS live more than three years after diagnosis.
