Special populations

Wednesday, June 06, 2007 at 01:06 PMAs many as 20 million people have asthma in the United States. You might want to check out the information about Causes and Risk Factors. A number of factors contribute to asthma, including genetics and various environmental and biologic triggers. Geographic differences also play a part. As these pages point out, however, ethnicity and genetics are less likely to play a role than socioeconomic differences, such as having less access to optimal health care. That's why it's so important for people with asthma to have their asthma under control. Be sure to read the pages under Manage for prevention and treatment advice.

Pregnancy and asthma medications
Patricia Theiler
Wednesday, June 06, 2007 at 12:53 PMThanks for writing. Be sure to check out the Prognosis pages which talk about guidelines released in 2005 by the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP). The guidelines emphasize that most asthma medications are safe for pregnant women. You might want to check out the Highlights section which mentions research suggesting that increased consumption of vitamin D may lower a child’s risk of developing asthma or wheezing. Resources include useful organizations and Web sites. Welcome to the community. Be sure to contribute additional SharePosts. Your insights can help us work together on this important health issue.
