“…According to other studies conducted in different countries worldwide, the prevalence of wheezing in the last 12 months and severe asthma in 6‐ to 7‐year‐old children living in Rio de Janeiro in 2010 was 20.9% and 8.8%, respectively . This is noticeably higher than the statistics obtained from the current study (7.8% and 3%, respectively).…”

Background:The actual prevalence of paediatric asthma as a worldwide chronic disease has been surveyed in developed countries. However, no sufficient survey has been conducted in most of the eastern developing countries. Herein, we took measures to evaluate the prevalence of paediatric asthma in Iran. Methods: In this national cross-sectional study, the prevalence of asthma symptoms was estimated throughout the country using a randomized multistage stratified cluster sampling method in 16 410 and 16 850 individuals aged 6-7 and 13-14 years, respectively. A validated questionnaire including core questions of the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) was applied between November 2015 and February 2016. Results: The total prevalence of asthma was 10.9% (n = 3624) (95% confidence interval [CI]: 10.6%-11.2%) which was significantly higher among 13-to 14-year olds compared to a younger age group (12.4% vs. 9.4%, P < 0.001), males versus females (12.1% vs. 9.8%, P < 0.001) and residents of urban compared to rural areas (P = 0.003). The prevalence of severe asthma was 3.9%, being significantly more prevalent in higher age groups and male individuals (P < 0.001). A significant relationship was found between asthma and passive smoking in both 6-to 7-and 13-to 14-year olds (P < 0.001). Conclusions: The prevalence of asthma and severe asthma in the paediatric population of Iran was similar to other developing countries. It is recommended to pay special attention to urban regions, male individuals and higher age groups for better controlling of asthma. Nevertheless, further national surveys are necessary to determine the trend of paediatric asthma in Iran.

“…Na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, em 2010, o questionário foi aplicado para 3216 crianças entre 6 e 7 anos e a prevalência de asma encontrada foi de 20,9%, tendo sido mais frequente no sexo masculino (VALLE et al, 2013).…”

Introdução: A asma é considerada uma das doenças crônicas mais comuns da infância e possui enorme impacto na saúde mundial tanto em países desenvolvidos quanto em subdesenvolvidos. O Brasil apresenta uma das maiores taxas de prevalência de asma na América Latina e diferenças significativas quanto às suas regiões nacionais. Diante disso, observa-se um déficit de estudos regionalizados, visto que o território brasileiro é altamente diversificado quanto ao clima, condições socioeconômicas, estilo de vida e alimentação, fatores influentes no risco de desenvolvimento dessa doença respiratória. Objetivos: Comparar a prevalência da asma em cada região brasileira e descrever os fatores de risco mais frequentes associados ao desenvolvimento de asma. Métodos: Tratase de uma revisão sistemática de artigos publicados entre 2010 e 2020 na base de dados eletrônica PubMed. Utilizou-se os termos "asthma" AND "Isaac" AND "epidemiology" AND "brazil". Resultados/discussões: A prevalência de asma no Brasil variou de 10,1% a 31,2% nos anos de 2003 a 2017, tendo a Região Sul apresentado maiores porcentagens e discrepâncias em detrimento da Região Nordeste que apresentou menores números e menor variabilidade entre as cidades. Os fatores de risco mais observados foram: Rinite, atopia e exposição ao tabaco. Considerações finais: As prevalências de asma entre as regiões brasileiras variaram em grande parte delas. Este fato, associado aos diferentes fatores de risco observados nos diferentes territórios, corrobora para que as práticas de

Asthma is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases, affecting over 334 million individuals worldwide. 1 A very different distribution of its prevalence around the world was described by the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC). 2,3 This enormous research program has been surveying the prevalence and risk factors for asthma, rhinoconjunctivitis, and eczema globally for three decades, and has provided a large body of epidemiological information which was expected to yield new clues about the etiology of these conditions. However, the latest survey, ISAAC phase three, was conducted ten years ago, and since then, no other has been performed worldwide. Fortunately, some researchers have used the same methodology DOI of original article: http://dx.
