Prevalencia de síntomas de asma en los niños y adolescentes de la Comunidad Autónoma de Galicia (España) y sus variaciones geográficas

Abstract: The prevalence of wheezing in the last 12 months in the different areas of Galicia is considerably higher than the rest of Spanish ISAAC cities in the 6-7 years group and very similar in the 13-14 years group, except in Vigo where it is considerably higher. We found a clearly defined geographic pattern in the adolescent group, with higher prevalences in coastal areas than in the interior.

“…A literature review was performed to identify the prevalence of asthma among the adult population of Spain and regions included in this analysis. 14 17 Estimates for asthma were extrapolated to the adult populations obtained from the population projections conducted by the National Institute of Statistics (INE). 18 We had to take into account that >50% of asthmatic patients are not diagnosed and 26% of those do not receive treatment.…”

“…Se estimó que en España afecta entre el 5 y el 15% de la población infantil 8 . A nivel mundial, estatal y local se realizaron investigaciones con el estudio ISAAC en zonas urbanas9, 10, 11. A partir de estos estudios se supo que la prevalencia de asma mundial ascendió al 11,7% en niños y al 14,1% en adolescentes 9 .…”

“…En el año 2011, siguiendo la metodología ISAAC, se realizó un estudio descriptivo trasversal sobre 10.371 niños gallegos. La prevalencia de sibilancias en los últimos 12 meses fue del 13.6% en niños de 6-7 años y 12.2% en adolescentes, superiores a la que encontramos en Salamanca (164). Los autores concluyen que las prevalencias de síntomas asmáticos en las diferentes áreas gallegas son muy superiores a las de otras ciudades españolas, y que es mayor en áreas costeras que en el interior.…”
