Asthma - Ten Facts You May Wish To Know About It

Here are ten more facts you may wish to know about this airway
disease.
? It affects 5 to 8% of the population. The prevalence is rising in
many parts of the world but no one really knows why. This disease
costs the United States of America more than $7 billion per year. The
impact of the disease tends to fall more heavily on minorities and
inner-city African-American and Hispanic persons.
? Asthma occurs at all ages but mainly in early life. About 50% of
cases develop before the age of 10 and about 33% occur before the age
of 40. In childhood, males are more affected than females but the sex
ration equalizes by the age of 30.
? Most childhood asthmatics either grow out of the disease in
adolescence, or suffer much less as adults. A significant number of
people develop chronic form of the disease late in life.
? The disease results in more than 2000 deaths per year in the United
Kingdom and about 50% of those deaths are people aged more than 65
years old.
? Atopy (an allergic reaction with strong family tendencies) is the
single largest risk factor for the development of the disease. The so
called 'allergic asthma' is often associated with a personal and/or
family history of allergic diseases such as rhinitis, urticaria
(hives), and eczema....
