Do Children Experience Asthma More Than Adults?

It was found in scientific research that most of the time, asthma sufferers develops asthma in childhood, in infancy in some cases. Roughly about 7% of children and 5% of adults in the United States suffered from asthma. In 1994, asthma was found to affect 4.8 milion children under 18.

It was commonly found that some younsters eventually outgrow their asthma; while others went through what we call asthma-free period during their teens or early 20s but later develop asthma again in adulthood.

Adults with no previous family history of asthma can also suffer from this disease any time from their late 20s onward.

One strange findings was that boys was twice as likely as girls to develop asthma. However, men and women are found to be equally affected. However, all asthma sufferer have one thing in common: they all experience difficulty in breathing during the asthma attack.
