What is this Indicator?
This indicator shows the percentage of adults who currently have asthma. |
| Why this is important: Asthma is a signifcant public health burden and can limit a person's quality of life. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways characterized by episodes of reversible breathing problems due to airway narrowing and obstruction. These episodes can range in severity from mild to life threatening. Symptoms of asthma include wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Daily preventive treatment can prevent symptoms and attacks and enable individuals who have asthma to lead active lives. |
