  7. Asthma Messages

  8. Asthma Remains a Serious Health Risk in the US Every day in America, approximately… 63,000people miss school or work due to asthma 34,000people have an asthma attack 5,000people visit an emergency room due to asthma 1,300people are admitted to the hospital due to asthma 10people die from asthma American Lung Association. Epidemiology and Statistics Unit, Research & Program Services Division. Trends in Asthma Morbidity & Mortality. November 2007. www.lungusa.org. Accessed 2/25/08.

  9. Prevalence vs Incidence • Prevalence - the proportion or percentage of a population that has disease at a specific point or period of time • Incidence – the number of new cases of disease that develop in a population of individuals at risk during a specific point or period of time

  10. Asthma Prevalence - Adults Trends in Asthma Morbidity and Mortality. American Lung Association, Epidemiology and Statistics Unit, Research and Program Services Division. January, 2007.

  11. Asthma Prevalence – Children Trends in Asthma Morbidity and Mortality. American Lung Association, Epidemiology and Statistics Unit, Research and Program Services Division. January, 2007.

  12. Asthma Age-Adjusted Death Rates Based on the 1940 and 2000 Standard populations, 1979-2005

  13. Percentage Distribution of Current Asthma by Sex, Age, and Ethnic Origin Current Asthma 22,875,985 NCHS. National Health Interview Survey, 2007.

  14. Percentage Distribution of Asthma Attacks by Sex, Age, and Ethnic Origin, 2007 Asthma Attacks 12,443,111 NCHS. National Health Interview Survey, 2007.

  15. Asthma Impact – Economic Burden • Childhood asthma accounts for 12.8 million days missed from school annually • The number-one chronic condition causing children to be absent from school and the third highest ranked cause of pediatric hospitalizations in the United States • On average, a child with asthma will miss one full week of school each year due to the disease

  16. Asthma Impact – Economic Burden • Adult asthma accounts for 10.1 million missed workdays annually • 4th leading cause of missed work days

  17. Asthma Mortality • 1980-1996 prevalence of asthma in US increased • Since 1999, mortality and hospitalization due to asthma have decreased and prevalence appears to have stopped increasing

  18. National Burden of Asthma $19.7 billion annually • $14.7 billion in direct costs (prescription medications, hospital care, and physician services) • $5 billion in indirect costs (lost productivity due to missed work or school and premature mortality)

  19. Burden of Asthma in [STATE] • Asthma Rates in [STATE] • XXX [current prevalence (%) in adults, by State] adults • XXX [current attack prevalence (%) in adults, by State] adults • XXX [current prevalence (%) in children, by State] children • XXX [current attack prevalence (%) in children, by State] children • Asthma Burden in [STATE]: • XXX [No. of] Emergency Department visits • XXX [No. of] Hospitalizations for asthma as the main diagnosis

  20. Asthma Disparities • Asthma occurs in disproportionate rates among people of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds • Studies suggest within Hispanic subgroups, Puerto Ricans have higher rates of asthma than other Hispanic subgroups and non-Hispanic whites • Asthma prevalence rate among blacks was 39% greater than among whites in 2007 • Asthma attack prevalence rate in blacks is 32% higher than the rate in whites • Prevalence is greater in boys than girls, but… • Greater in women than men

  21. Asthma Disparities Asthma has been estimated to affect as many as 20.1 percent of mainland Puerto Rican children 6 months to 11 years old. This is a greater percentage of children than in any other ethnic group
