  2. Asthma Continues as a Major Public Health Problem • In 2001, 31.3 million people reported at some time of their life being diagnosed with asthma. • Asthma affects 5% to 8% of children under 18 years of age; is most common reason for childhood hospitalizations. • Asthma-associated work absence days have increased by 50% since 1980 to 14 million in 1996. • In 2000, estimated direct and indirect cost of illness related to asthma was $14 billion, (direct medical costs 9.4 billion). (NCHS,2002) (Mannino et al, 2002) (NHLBI, Chart book, 2002)
