“…LMIC with lower socio‐economic status (SES) were consistently reported to have higher prevalence of asthma than those with higher SES, most likely due to limited access to healthcare, poor housing conditions, and lower health literacy (Figure 5). 35 SES measures that have been studied in the APR include education level, employment status and property ownership 35,50,51 . Further, childhood viral respiratory infections in poor SES would increase the risk of asthma by inducing TH2‐based immune responses 52,53 …”

There is growing interest in the epidemiology of asthma in developing countries, especially in the Asia‐Pacific Region (APR). A number of reviews have been published in this field, but a comprehensive synthesis of overall data has not been reported. Here, we summarized the burden, risk factors and challenges of asthma management in developing countries with a specific emphasis on the APR by consolidating evidence from both systematic and narrative reviews published up until February 2023. We found that although asthma prevalence in low and low‐middle‐income countries (LMICs) is known to be generally lower compared to high‐income countries, the burden is substantially greater. Studies conducted in APR LMIC have reported a range of risk factors, including pre‐ and post‐natal factors, environmental considerations, lifestyle measures, individual features and genetics. The low and inequitable distribution of quality preventive and curative health care, a lack of advanced diagnostic measures, non‐availability and non‐affordability of novel therapeutics, cultural beliefs and practices, and diverse disease phenotypes make it challenging to achieve optimal asthma control in the region. Hence, we call for the development of a region‐specific blueprint for action to mitigate this challenging situation, to help reduce the burden of asthma in APR LMIC.

“…In Iran with adult asthma prevalence about 8.9% in 2018 (Fazlollahi et al, 2018), some studies have been performed to investigate the environmental risk factors of asthma (Rabiee et al, 2018;Dastoorpoor et al, 2021;Idani et al, 2021). In some cases, this approach was developed using GIS method, especially in the Tehran and Esfahan provinces (Central of Iran), while there is no GIS-based study in south of Iran (Rashidi et al, 2013;Alizadeh et al, 2016;Khasha et al, 2018;Kaffash-Charandabi et al, 2019;Faraji et al, 2022).…”

Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease resulting from a complex interaction between genetic and environmental factors. Many environmental factors have been associated with incidence or prevalence of asthma although there is still limited knowledge of major environmental causes of asthma in the general population. This study, for the first time, investigated the effects of climatic and geographical variability on asthma hospitalization among an adult population living in Fars province, southwest Iran. During the study period, the home addresses of patients hospitalized with acute asthma from 2016 to 2019 were mapped. The effects of geo-climatic factors including temperature, rainfall, humidity, evaporation, number of rainy and frosty days, slope, and land covers were assessed on adult asthma hospitalization by Geographical Information System (GIS). Data were analyzed using univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression. A total of 349 patients were recruited, including 157 (44.98%) males and 192 (55%) females. The mean age was 57.77 ± 18.84 years, ranging from 19 to 98 years. Asthmatic patients came from a total of 82 points including villages, towns, and cities. In the univariate analysis, urban setting (OR = 13) and Mean Annual Rainy Days (OR = 1.03) were identified as the factors associated with increased asthma hospitalization, while Mean Annual Temperature (MAT) (OR = 0.927), MinMAT (OR = 0.933), MaxMAT (OR = 0.925), Mean Annual Evaporation (MAE) (OR = 0.999), and slope (OR = 0.925) negatively affected asthma hospitalization. Urban setting was considered the only significant factor in multivariate analysis (OR = 11.026). The major risk zones for adulthood acute asthma in southwest Iran were urban settings and areas with higher numbers of rainy days, lower temperatures, and evaporation at lower slopes.
