This dataset contains the estimated percentage of Californians with asthma (asthma prevalence). Two types of asthma prevalence are included: 1) lifetime asthma prevalence describes the percentage of people who have ever been diagnosed with asthma by a health care provider, 2) current asthma prevalence describes the percentage of people who have ever been diagnosed with asthma by a health care provider AND report they still have asthma and/or had an asthma episode or attack within the past 12 months. The tables “Lifetime Asthma Prevalence by County” and “Current Asthma Prevalence by County” are derived from the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) and include data stratified by county and age group (all ages, 0-17, 18+, 0-4, 5-17, 18-64, 65+) reported for 2-year periods. The table “Asthma Prevalence, Adults (18 and older)” is derived from the California Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) and includes statewide data on adults reported by year.

The highest prevalence of current asthma among U.S. children was reported in Connecticut, where 10.6 percent of all children were estimated to currently suffer from asthma. This statistic represents the prevalence of current asthma among children in the United States in 2022, by state.

Find data on pediatric asthma in Massachusetts. This dataset provides the number of cases and prevalence of asthma among students, grades K-8, in Massachusetts.

As of 2021, the states with the highest lifetime prevalence of asthma among adults included New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. In New Hampshire and Rhode Island around 17.4 percent of adults self-reported that a doctor, nurse, or other health professional had told them that you had asthma at some pinot in their lifetime. Asthma is a chronic disease affecting the airways of the lungs that can be mild or severe and can cause shortness of breath, tightness or pain in the chest, coughing, and wheezing.

The prevalence of asthma in the United States Asthma in the United States is more common among men than women, with around 8.9 percent of women with current asthma in 2021, compared to 6.5 percent of men. Current asthma is also more common among adults than children, with those aged four years and below the least likely age group to suffer from the disease. It is unclear what exactly causes asthma; however it is believed that both environmental and genetic factors play a role. In 2021, non-Hispanic Blacks were more likely to report currently suffering from asthma than their non-Hispanic white and Hispanic counterparts.

Death from asthma Medicine for asthma can help control the disease in the long-term and provide short-term relief from symptoms. Therefore, deaths from asthma in the United States are rare, with it being the underlying cause of death in about one out of every 100,000 population. The states with the highest death rates from asthma are Mississippi, Hawaii, and Oregon. In 2020, there were a total of 4,145 deaths due to asthma in the United States.

In 2022, around 8.2 percent of the U.S. population currently had asthma. Over the past couple decades, the share of the U.S. population with current asthma has fluctuated. The years 2010 and 2011 saw the highest prevalence rates, with 8.5 percent in both years.

Asthma Asthma is a complicated chronic illness that affects a person’s ability to breathe. Symptoms include shortness of breath, wheezing and coughing. Asthma is treatable through avoidance of triggers and through inhaled corticosteroids (an inhaler). Prescriptions of Albuterol, a commonly prescribed inhaler, have increased significantly in the United States. Fortunately, in recent years, the out-of-pocket costs of albuterol have decreased. Asthma among the states The prevalence of asthma in U.S. states varies, with Rhode Island, Maine, and New Hampshire reporting the highest current rates of asthma. However, despite having the highest prevalence rates, these states do not have the highest death rates due to asthma. As of 2021, Mississippi and Hawaii had the highest death rates from asthma in the United States. Among all U.S. residents, the prevalence of active asthma attacks within the past 12 months has decreased over the last few years.

The MarketScan health claims database is a compilation of nearly 110 million patient records with information from more than 100 private insurance carriers and large self-insuring companies. Public forms of insurance (i.e., Medicare and Medicaid) are not included, nor are small (< 100 employees) or medium (1000 employees). We excluded the relatively few (n=6735) individuals over 65 years of age because Medicare is the primary insurance of U.S. adults over 65. The EQI was constructed for 2000-2005 for all US counties and is composed of five domains (air, water, built, land, and sociodemographic), each composed of variables to represent the environmental quality of that domain. Domain-specific EQIs were developed using principal components analysis (PCA) to reduce these variables within each domain while the overall EQI was constructed from a second PCA from these individual domains (L. C. Messer et al., 2014). To account for differences in environment across rural and urban counties, the overall and domain-specific EQIs were stratified by rural urban continuum codes (RUCCs) (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 2015).

In 2019, Portugal and Sweden were the EU countries with the highest prevalence of asthma with approximately 9.9 percent and 8.2 percent of their populations suffering from the disease respectively. On the other hand, Lithuania and Estonia had the lowest prevalence with 2.9 percent and 2.2 percent respectively. The average prevalence across the whole EU was just over six percent.

As of 2022, the prevalence of current asthma among U.S. children was around six percent. Females had higher rates of asthma than males, with almost 10 percent of females currently suffering from asthma. This statistic represents the current asthma prevalence in the United States in 2022, sorted by gender, age, and race/ethnicity.

This dataset contains counts and rates (per 1,000,000 residents) of asthma deaths among Californians statewide and by county. The data are stratified by age group (all ages, 0-17, 18+) and reported for 3-year periods. The data are derived from the California Death Statistical Master Files, which contain information collected from death certificates. All deaths with asthma coded as the underlying cause of death (ICD-10 CM J45 or J46) are included.

This statistic depicts the number of persons with asthma and the asthma prevalence in North, South and Central America and the Caribbean, as of 2004. The highest prevalence rate among these regions was reported for North America with a total of 35.5 million asthmatics, or a 11.2 percent prevalence rate of clinical asthma.

Aims: Socioeconomic and environmental factors influence childhood asthma prevalence across the world. In-depth epidemiological research is necessary to determine the association between asthma prevalence and socio-environmental conditions, and to develop public health strategies to protect the asthmatic children against the environmental precipitators. Our research was based on aggregative data and sought to compare the asthma prevalence between children of two different age-groups across the world and to identify the association among the key socio-environmental conditions with increased childhood asthma prevalence.Method: We included forty countries with available data on various socio-environmental conditions (2014–2015). Childhood asthma prevalence of two different age groups (6–7 and 13–14 years) were obtained from global asthma report 2014. Because of significant diversities, the selected countries were divided into two groups based on human developmental index (HDI), a well-recognized parameter to estimate the overall socioeconomic status of a country. Robust linear regression was conducted using childhood asthma prevalence as the dependent variable and female smoking prevalence, tertiary school enrollment (TSE), PM10 (particulate matter ≤10 μm in diameter) and gross domestic product (GDP) as predictors.Results: Asthma prevalence was not different between two age groups. Among all predictors, only female smoking prevalence (reflecting maternal smoking) was associated with asthma prevalence in the countries with lower socio-economic conditions (HDI), but not in the higher HDI group. The results were unchanged even after randomization.Conclusions: Childhood asthma prevalence did not change significantly with age. Female smoking may have a positive correlation with childhood asthma prevalence in lower HDI countries.

This dataset contains counts and rates (per 10,000 residents) of asthma emergency department (ED) visits among Californians. The table “Asthma Emergency Department Visit Rates by County” contains statewide and county-level data stratified by age group (all ages, 0-17, 18+, 0-4, 5-17, 18-64, 65+) and race/ethnicity (white, black, Hispanic, Asian/Pacific Islander, American Indian/Alaskan Native). The table “Asthma Emergency Department Visit Rates by ZIP Code” contains zip-code level data stratified by age group (all ages, 0-17, 18+). The data are derived from the Department of Health Care Access and Information emergency department database. These data include emergency department visits from all licensed hospitals in California. These data are based only on primary discharge diagnosis codes. On October 1, 2015, diagnostic coding for asthma transitioned from ICD9-CM (493) to ICD10-CM (J45). Because of this change, CDPH and CDC do not recommend comparing data from 2015 (or earlier) to 2016 (or later). NOTE: Rates are calculated from the total number of asthma emergency department visits (not the unique number of individuals).

Note: This dataset is historical only and there are not corresponding datasets for more recent time periods. For that more-recent information, please visit the Chicago Health Atlas at https://chicagohealthatlas.org. This dataset contains the annual number of hospital discharges, crude hospitalization rates with corresponding 95% confidence intervals, and age-adjusted hospitalization rates (per 10,000 children and adults aged 5 to 64 years) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals, for the years 2000 – 2011, by Chicago U.S. Postal Service ZIP code or ZIP code aggregate.

These data represent the predicted (modeled) prevalence of Asthma among adults (Age 18+) for each census tract in Colorado. Asthma is defined as ever being diagnosed with Asthma by a doctor, nurse, or other health professional, and still having the condition.The estimate for each census tract represents an average that was derived from multiple years of Colorado Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data (2014-2017).CDPHE used a model-based approach to measure the relationship between age, race, gender, poverty, education, location and health conditions or risk behavior indicators and applied this relationship to predict the number of persons' who have the health conditions or risk behavior for each census tract in Colorado. We then applied these probabilities, based on demographic stratification, to the 2013-2017 American Community Survey population estimates and determined the percentage of adults with the health conditions or risk behavior for each census tract in Colorado.The estimates are based on statistical models and are not direct survey estimates. Using the best available data, CDPHE was able to model census tract estimates based on demographic data and background knowledge about the distribution of specific health conditions and risk behaviors.The estimates are displayed in both the map and data table using point estimate values for each census tract and displayed using a Quintile range. The high and low value for each color on the map is calculated based on dividing the total number of census tracts in Colorado (1249) into five groups based on the total range of estimates for all Colorado census tracts. Each Quintile range represents roughly 20% of the census tracts in Colorado. No estimates are provided for census tracts with a known population of less than 50. These census tracts are displayed in the map as "No Est, Pop < 50."No estimates are provided for 7 census tracts with a known population of less than 50 or for the 2 census tracts that exclusively contain a federal correctional institution as 100% of their population. These 9 census tracts are displayed in the map as "No Estimate."

In 2022, around 10 percent of the Black U.S. population reported currently having asthma, while the percentage for the Hispanic population amounted to 6.7 percent. This statistic represents the percentage of the U.S. population with current asthma from 2001 to 2022, sorted by race and ethnicity.

This data shows healthcare utilization for asthma by Allegheny County residents 18 years of age and younger. It counts asthma-related visits to the Emergency Department (ED), hospitalizations, urgent care visits, and asthma controller medication dispensing events. The asthma data was compiled as part of the Allegheny County Health Department’s Asthma Task Force, which was established in 2018. The Task Force was formed to identify strategies to decrease asthma inpatient and emergency utilization among children (ages 0-18), with special focus on children receiving services funded by Medicaid. Data is being used to improve the understanding of asthma in Allegheny County, and inform the recommended actions of the task force. Data will also be used to evaluate progress toward the goal of reducing asthma-related hospitalization and ED visits. Regarding this data, asthma is defined using the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (IDC-10) classification system code J45.xxx. The ICD-10 system is used to classify diagnoses, symptoms, and procedures in the U.S. healthcare system. Children seeking care for an asthma-related claim in 2017 are represented in the data. Data is compiled by the Health Department from medical claims submitted to three health plans (UPMC, Gateway Health, and Highmark). Claims may also come from people enrolled in Medicaid plans managed by these insurers. The Health Department estimates that 74% of the County’s population aged 0-18 is represented in the data. Users should be cautious of using administrative claims data as a measure of disease prevalence and interpreting trends over time. Missing from the data are the uninsured, members in participating plans enrolled for less than 90 continuous days in 2017, children with an asthma-related condition that did not file a claim in 2017, and children participating in plans managed by insurers that did not share data with the Health Department. Data users should also be aware that diagnoses may also be subject to misclassification, and that children with an asthmatic condition may not be diagnosed. It is also possible that some children may be counted more than once in the data if they are enrolled in a plan by more than one participating insurer and file a claim on each policy in the same calendar year.
