EpiCast Report: Asthma - Epidemiology Forecast to 2022
Summary
Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases in the world,
with an estimated 300 million people suffering from the disease in
2004 (Masoli et al., 2004). The 2004 Global Initiative for Asthma
(GINA) report estimated that prevalence of asthma in the general
population varied widely in different countries around the world,
with proportions ranging between 1% in Albania and 18% in Wales
(Masoli et al., 2004; WHO, 2007). Asthma accounts for
approximately 250,000 deaths around the world annually, deaths
that otherwise could be easily prevented through appropriate
treatment (Masoli et al., 2004; WHO, 2007).

4. Brief SummaryBrief Summary
Reports Cornerwww.reportscorner.com
GlobalData epidemiologists predict a substantial increase in the
number of lifetime prevalent cases of asthma in the 10 major
markets during the forecast period. GlobalData epidemiologists
forecast that there will be approximately 159.20 million lifetime
prevalent cases of asthma in the 10 major markets by 2022, with
an overall growth of 17.7% over the next decade. GlobalData
epidemiologists attribute the projected increase in the lifetime
prevalent cases of asthma across all the markets covered in this
analysis to changing population demographics in the respective
markets, except for the US and the UK, where this growth is also
attributed to trends in genetic determinants, social status,
environmental factors, and changes in policies related to disease
identification and recording (Simpson and Sheikh, 2010; Smith et
al., 2005).

- In addition, the report includes a 10-year epidemiological
forecast of the lifetime prevalent cases of asthma segmented by
sex, age (in five-year increments beginning at 0 years and ending
at ages 85 years and older), and asthma severity in these 10
markets.
