PREVALENCE OF ALLERGY Allergy prevalence is increasing across the World, including India. Rising Industrialization and pollution are among the factors contributing this increase Currently asthma prevalence in different parts of India varies between 4% and 20% The increase in air pollution has been blamed for the rise in the prevalence of asthma The International study on Asthma and Allergies in Children (ISAAC) has also revealed much higher prevalence in developed countries compared to South-East Asia.
PREVALENCE OF CERVICAL CANCER Cancer of the cervix is the most common cancer among Women in developing countries. Rates for this cancer have been declining in developed countries partly as a result of improved socio-economic circumstances, better access to medical facilities and screening. Cancer of the cervix is the second most common in Women, comprising 16.6% of all cancers. It is the most common cancer in black (31.2%) and colored (22.9%) Second most common in Asian (8.9%) and fourth most common in white Women (2.7%)
