Asthma in the USA and Canada
Approximately 20.3 million people in the US have been diagnosed with asthma, with at least 6 million of them children under the age of 18.
Asthma is the leading, serious, chronic illness among children in the US.
Asthma accounts for 14 million absences from school each year.
Asthma is the third-ranking cause of childhood hospitalizations under the age of 15.
NEW YORK
In a survey carried out on asthma in New York, approximately 1 in every 5 adults with diagnosed asthma in New York State required emergency room treatment at least once in the past 12 months. Approximately 1 million people in New York suffer from asthma. That’s 6.4% of the population of the New York.
Many factors are known to trigger asthma symptoms such as dustmites, smoke, allergens from animals, pollen, moulds, strong odours or perfume, environmental factors such as changes in weather.
Asthma can often hinder normal life such as participation in sports and more sever asthmatics may not be able to walk for 5 minutes without suffering from symptoms. New Yorker’s participation in sport is broken down between people with asthma and people without asthma.
43% of people with asthma stated that their activities were limited due to an impairment or health problem compared with 16% of non-asthmatics.
On a separate survey questioned people on how they felt over a 30 day period. The statistics were broken down as follows: 20% of asthmatics felt they had no days where they were feeling healthy and full of energy; 21% had between 1-10 days; 22% 11-20 days and 37% felt healthy for 21-30 days. This is compared with non-asthmatics with 9% having no days of feeling healthy; 15% only feeling healthy between 1-10 days; 22% 11-20 days and 54% felt healthy between 21-30 days. As you can see the quality of life for an asthmatic is significantly lower than a person without asthma.

TORONTO
The occurrence of asthma in Canada has risen fourfold in the last 20 years, reaching a level where one in ten is now affected by the respiratory ailment. In 1994 alone, there were 54,532 admissions to Canadian Hospitals for the treatment of asthma. An estimated 2.5 million Canadians are affected by the condition, including 12 percent of children and eight percent of adults.
Asthma is now "one of the most chronic conditions in Canadian children.” About 20 percent of boys and 15 percent of girls aged between eight and 11 have been diagnosed with the disease.
Asthma continues to be a major cause of hospitalization of children in Canada.
Approximately 20 children and 500 adults die each year from asthma.
Asthma is the leading cause of absenteeism from school and the third leading cause of work loss.
Every year in Canada, there are 146,000 emergency room visits due to asthma attacks.
In 1993 alone, over $12 billion was spent on asthma in Canada.
Direct costs of asthma, which include medical/nursing care and medication, in Canada are estimated at $600 million per year. In 1994, the cost of hospitalization alone for asthma was $135 million.
World-wide, the economic costs associated with asthma are estimated to exceed those of TB
and HIV/AIDS combined.
