Asthma is a long-term inflammatorydisease of the airways of the lungs.It is characterized by variable and recurring symptoms, reversible airflow obstruction, and easily triggered bronchospasms.Symptoms include episodes of wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.These may occur a few times a day or a few times per week. Depending on the person, asthma symptoms may become worse at night or with exercise.
Asthma is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.[4]Environmental factors include exposure to air pollution and allergens.[3] Other potential triggers include medications such as aspirinand beta blockers.[3] Diagnosis is usually based on the pattern of symptoms, response to therapy over time, and spirometry lung function testing.[5] Asthma is classified according to the frequency of symptoms, forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), and peak expiratory flow rate.[11] It may also be classified as atopic or non-atopic, where atopy refers to a predisposition toward developing a type 1 hypersensitivity reaction.[12][13]

There is no known cure for asthma, but it is easily treatable.[3] Symptoms can be prevented by avoiding triggers, such as allergens and respiratory irritants, and suppressed with the use of inhaled corticosteroids.[6][14] Long-acting beta agonists (LABA) or antileukotriene agents may be used in addition to inhaled corticosteroids if asthma symptoms remain uncontrolled.[15][16] Treatment of rapidly worsening symptoms is usually with an inhaled short-acting beta-2 agonist such as salbutamoland corticosteroids taken by mouth.[7] In very severe cases, intravenous corticosteroids, magnesium sulfate, and hospitalization may be required.[17]

In 2019 asthma affected approximately 262 million people and caused approximately 461,000 deaths.[8] Most of the deaths occurred in the developing world.[3]Asthma often begins in childhood,[3]and the rates have increased significantly since the 1960s.[18]Asthma was recognized as early as Ancient Egypt.[19] The word "asthma" is from the Greek ἅσθμα, ásthma, which means "panting".[20]

In 2019, approximately 262 million people worldwide were affected by asthma and approximately 461,000 people died from the disease.[8]Rates vary between countries with prevalences between 1 and 18%.[21] It is more common in developed than developing countries.[21] One thus sees lower rates in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa.[20] Within developed countries it is more common in those who are economically disadvantaged while in contrast in developing countries it is more common in the affluent.[21] The reason for these differences is not well known.[21] Low and middle income countries make up more than 80% of the mortality.[267]
While asthma is twice as common in boys as girls,[21] severe asthma occurs at equal rates.[268] In contrast adult women have a higher rate of asthma than men[21] and it is more common in the young than the old.[20]In children, asthma was the most common reason for admission to the hospital following an emergency department visit in the US in 2011.[269]
Global rates of asthma have increased significantly between the 1960s and 2008[18][270] with it being recognized as a major public health problem since the 1970s.[20] Rates of asthma have plateaued in the developed world since the mid-1990s with recent increases primarily in the developing world.[271] Asthma affects approximately 7% of the population of the United States[189] and 5% of people in the United Kingdom.[272]Canada, Australia and New Zealand have rates of about 14–15%.[273]
The average death rate from 2011 to 2015 from asthma in the UK was about 50% higher than the average for the European Union and had increased by about 5% in that time.[274] Children are more likely see a physician due to asthma symptoms after school starts in September.[275]
Population-based epidemiological studies describe temporal associations between acute respiratory illnesses, asthma, and development of severe asthma with irreversible airflow limitation (known as the asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease “overlap” syndrome, or ACOS).[276][277][278]Additional prospective population-based data indicate that ACOS seems to represent a form of severe asthma, characterised by more frequent hospitalisations, and to be the result of early-onset asthma that has progressed to fixed airflow obstruction.[279]
