What Are the Costs of Asthma?

  • From 2008-2013, the annual economic cost of asthma was more than $81.9 billion – including medical costs and loss of work and school days:
    • ​$3 billion in losses due to missed work and school days 
    • $29 billion due to asthma-related mortality, and
    • $50.3 billion in medical costs
  • The annual per-person incremental medical cost of asthma was $3,266 (in 2015 U.S. dollars). 
  • Among children ages 5 to 17, asthma is one of the top causes of missed school days. In 2013, it accounted for more than 13.8 million missed school days.

What Ethnic Groups Have Higher Asthma Rates?

  • See AAFA’s groundbreaking research report on Disparities in Asthma Care. It was published with the National Pharmaceutical Council.
  • Racial/ethnic differences in asthma frequency, illness and death are highly connected with poverty, city air quality, indoor allergens, not enough patient education and poor health care.
  • The rate of asthma and the prevalence of asthma episodes is highest among Puerto Ricans compared to all ethnic groups.
  • African-American children have the highest prevalence of asthma.
  • African-Americans in the U.S. die from asthma at a higher rate than people of other races or ethnicities.
  • African-Americans are three times more likely to die from asthma, especially African-American women, than any other group.
  • African-Americans are three times more likely to stay in the hospital from asthma.
  • About 13.4 percent of African-American children have asthma, compared to about 7.4 percent of white children with asthma.

Do Men or Women Have Higher Rates of Asthma?​

  • 9.8 percent of women aged 18 years or older have asthma, compared to 5.4 percent of men.
  • Women are more likely to die from asthma than men.
  • 19 million adults 18 years and older currently have asthma.
  • An average of 1 out of every 12 school-aged children has asthma.
  • 3.4 percent of children with asthma are more likely to use a hospital emergency room.
  • Boys are more likely to have asthma than girls. But women are more likely to have asthma than men.
  • Adults are nearly four times more likely than children to die from asthma.

Calcium and Vitamin D are needed for you Brought to U.... http://successgain.us       and      http://successgain.info My memories Calcium and Vitamin D are needed for you Posted in 2014 Adequate calcium and vitamin D are deemed essential for the prevention of osteoporosis in general, including postmenopausal osteoporosis. Multiple studies of calcium supplementation in the elderly and postmenopausal women have found that high calcium intake may be of benefit for bone loss prevention, especially in the ankles, hips, and spine. Although calcium and vitamin D alone are not recommended as the sole treatment of osteoporosis,  they are necessary additions to pharmaceutical treatments. The vast majority of clinical trials investigating the efficacy of pharmaceutical treatments for osteoporosis have investigated these agents in combination with calcium and vitamin D. So, although calcium alone is unlikely to have an effect on the rate of bone loss following menopause, osteop
