In This Report the Prevalence of Asthma Disease Has Been Evaluated

Question: In This Report the Prevalence of What Asthma Disease Has Been Evaluated? Answer: Introducation: In this report, the prevalence of asthma disease has been evaluated through a series of studies carried out in different parts of the world and its a global problem (Asher and Pearce, 2014). The increased prevalence of asthma has been reported in Melbourne city while other infections were low. In another different study, there is a reported increased case of prescription in inhaled corticosteroids. There is also a high association between the body fat distribution (obesity) and development of asthma. This information is addressed to the minister of health at the National state level in an effort to control the cases of asthma and other cases of upper respiratory diseases. Summary The inhaled corticosteroids either in combination or when used alone are commonly used for the control of many infections in the upper respiratory diseases and clear airways. It is also common for the inhaled corticosteroids to present serious health effects. The use of anonymous linkage with pharmaceuticals in Australia has shown that there is also a low level of inhaled corticosteroids compliance among patients with asthma. For instance in the year 2008, (Poulos et al., 2013) reported that approximately 43.6% of the patients from data obtained from concessional patients, had received one-off inhaled corticosteroids. Questionnaire administered to school children in Melbourne city indicate that the cases of asthma have been on the rise. The study in Melbourne city indicated that there was a reduction in wheezing over period of one year by 26%, i.e. form 27.2% to 20.0% (Robertson et al., 2004). Additionally, eczema increased from 11.1% to 17.2% over a period of nine years. Those alrea dy experiencing symptoms such as wheezing had a low drug adherence rates, that is, only 45% of them. There is also a high association between obesity and possible development of asthma in children as evidenced by a study carried out in a children aged 5-11 years old (Papoutsakis et al., 2015). The research found out that the obese children had a high likelihood of being obese and recorded 1.99 (odds ratio) and 1.95% (confidence interval). Conclusion These calls for the health minister to put proper strategies in place that ensure that all the possible factors associated with development and treatment of asthma is concerned. This will reduce the mortality rates, economic burden to the country. Reference List Asher, I. and Pearce, N., 2014. Global burden of asthma among children.
