Abstract

|
|
The purpose of this study is to produce nationwide data regarding prevalence and risk factor of asthma for national asthma management administration and research. A nationwide study revealed that old age, female sex, low lung function at asthma diagnosis, history of allergic disease, use of antibiotics, geological location were a risk factor for asthma. Large nationwide studies to evaluate environmental/epidemiologic risk factor are required to see the cause of geological differences in asthma prevalence. Funding and support to study elderly asthma is required. These should be financial support for the integration of diverse asthma cohorts in Korea to produce more organized and accurate asthma cohort data.
