Asthma Figures

We are living in a world in which statistical evidence plays a great role in the argumentation of any conclusion. Statistics can determine whether we should worry about something or not, it can be the basis for a prediction, and it is often called upon when a reliable account of a state of facts is needed.

It is, therefore, no wonder that people who have been diagnosed with asthma should want to know all kinds of statistical data referring to this condition: number of people diagnosed with it, drug efficiency, the likelihood of a specific medicine to cause side effects, the frequency of each type of asthmatic disorder, and so on.

Whether or not all this information is of any use is, of course, debatable. It would probably seem much more useful to know more about the processes that occur in the lungs during an asthma attack. Identifying the causes that prompt the attacks in your own case would also be of greater help to you in overcoming the inconveniences of the disorder. However, to humor those who like to rely on figures, here are some statistical findings regarding asthma.

The figures are rather worrying, as they show that there are around 20 million people with asthma in the United States. Four million children per year suffer from an asthma attack, according to other statistical evidence. Actually, it appears that asthma diagnoses are most common among children - the current estimations place the figure around 9 million, with a large number of new cases being added each year. The period between 1980 and 1994 saw a 75% increase in the number of asthma diagnoses, to quote another example, with a 160% increase among children.

The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology is a reliable source of up-to-date statistics in this field. You can always check the information provided by them if you are interested in finding out more statistical evidence about this condition.

Still, you should remember that your own manner of dealing with asthma should be of much greater importance to you than the numbers provided by research. The mere fact that so many people suffer from asthma should indicate that its quite possible to live in such a way as to minimize the effects it has on your life.
