About Asthma

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory process that leads to airflow limitation and increased sensitivity to asthma triggers. More than 22 million people in the United States are currently affected by asthma. It is one of the most common chronic diseases of childhood, affecting more than six million children.

Asthma has far-reaching social and economic impacts. The annual cost of this disease is estimated to be nearly $18 billion through direct costs of $10 billion, such as hospitalizations, medications and other healthcare costs; and indirect costs of $8 billion, which include lost earnings due to illness, death or absenteeism. In 2002 there were more than 4,000 mortalities due to this chronic condition.
