We also determined the rates and correlates of asthma-related hospitalization, urgent care center (...
As the people involved in this study observed the degree of expression of asthma within genetically similar populations they discovered that asthma between children of similar genetic ancestry that live in different environments have significant differences in prevalence rates (Subbarao, Mandhane, and Sear...
Asthma in homeless children is also likely to be severe and substantially undertreated. There is substantial evidence that in the United States there are excessively high rates of asthma among children of color, especially among those who live in urban medically underserved communities and whose ...
Asthma prevalence also differs between populations of the same ethnicity who are born and live in different places. US-born Mexican populations, for example, have higher asthma rates than non-US born Mexican populations that are living in the US. This probably reflects differences in social and ...
Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases in the United States. High rates of asthma hospitalization have been reported for some ethnic minorities; however, asthma hospitalization rates for American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations of all ages have not been studied. In this study...
Asthma is one of the leading causes of chronic illness among children and the most commonly reported cause of childhood disability. Rates of childhood asthma in the US have been increasing over the last several decades such that the rise in asthma prevalence has been labeled as an epidemic. The...
Year 0 is the first year of entry. The error bars indicate 95% CIs. Table 1. Characteristics of Respondents by HUD Statusa View LargeDownload Table 2. Percentage Point Differences in Asthma Outcomes for Children Currently Participating in a HUD Rental Assistance Program vs Those Waiting to ...
Evaluating incidence rates can provide critical clues about factors that are temporally associated with the development of asthma. Two recent publications assessed incidence data for US children stratified by age, family history, sex, race, and ethnicity. In the Environment and Child Health Outcomes (...
Asthma incidence rates were highest among children younger than 4 years and Black and Caribbean Hispanic children. The contribution of neighborhood-level factors to asthma incidence in these populations was not examined. The objectives of the present analysis are to (1) determine the associations of ...
This is the first successful application of the BRFSSACBS during 20062008 to estimate asthma incidence rates from participating states and DC. As with known patterns in asthma prevalence, we found that asthma incidence was higher in children than adults, higher in younger children than older ...
