“…In another study conducted by Singh et al among school children of urban and rural areas, it was reported that the prevalence of current bronchial asthma was higher in rural children (13.72%) than in urban children (11.92%). However, the difference was not significant [15].…”

“…Numerous factors have been reported to be significantly associated with asthma in children in various studies. It has been observed that out of 18 studies 13 studies (72.22%) have shown that family history of asthma/atopy was significantly associated with asthma [5,[8][9]13,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]24], from the studies listed in Table-1.

Asthma is a common health problem around the world. It reduces the quality of the life of the affected individual and places considerable limitations on the physical, emotional, social and professional lives of the sufferers when the symptoms are not adequately controlled. Epidemiological studies have reported the increased prevalence of asthma in many places around the world during the last decades. The data on the prevalence rates and associated risk factors of the disease seems to be practically essential for the management, resource allocation and devising preventive strategies. The main objectives of this paper were to review the prevalence of asthma in Indian children and adults and to assess the association of environmental and genetic factors with asthma. Literature search for the data sources was made using Pub Med and website based epidemiologic data search on prevalence and associated risk factors of asthma in Indian children/adults. Twentyeight research papers, published during 1998-2014, were included for the analysis. The prevalence of asthma in children was found to vary between 2.3% -23.11%. Similarly, the prevalence of adult asthma varied between 0.96% -13.34%. The prevalence was found to have regional variation across the country, rural-urban variation and gender variation. Numerous factors have been reported to be significantly associated with asthma in various studies. Among the various factors reported to be associated with asthma, family history of asthma/atopy and smoking/passive smoking or exposure to environmental tobacco smoke were shown consistently in many studies to be associated with asthma in both children and adults.

Our objective was to estimate the prevalence of physician-diagnosed asthma and to describe some related characteristics and associated symptoms of cases in a sample of adolescent secondary-school girls of Riyadh city, Saudi Arabia. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in secondary schools in Riyadh city, during the academic year 2016-2017. A predesigned questionnaire was disseminated to the targeted population to complete it. Results: Out of 154 female students, the prevalence of physician-diagnosed asthma was 4.5%. The prevalence of rhinitis symptoms, exercise-induced wheezing and night coughing in the past 12 months in physician-diagnosed asthma and exercise-induced wheeze was 42.9%, 28.6% and 28.6%, respectively. Conclusion and recommendations:The prevalence of physician-diagnosed asthma in female adolescents in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia was 4.5%, there was with a high rate (42.9%)of rhinitis symptoms among the asthmatic girls. The prevalence of asthma in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia was within the reported prevalence ranges from many other parts of the world.
