Control of asthma and quality of management matter as much as the
number of people with asthma.
PRESS CONTACT: Dave Mannino, MD CDC, National Center for Environmental Health (404) 498-1014 |
Approximately 7.2% of the adult U.S. population currently has asthma. Among the 50 states, current asthma prevalence ranged from 5.3% (Louisiana, South Dakota) to 9.5% (Massachusetts). Use of the asthma history module permits identification of states where asthma is better controlled, regardless of prevalence level. Among the eight states that used the asthma history module, some states appear to have better controlled asthma than others.
