Asthma is a chronic pulmonary condition involving inflammation of the airways, hyper-reactivity, and reversible obstruction of the airways. This condition can significantly impact a person's quality of life, making breathing difficult and leading to distressing symptoms.
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Respiratory Medicine

Background:

  • Asthma affects over 300 million globally, posing a significant public health challenge.
  • Disease burden is assessed through prevalence, care needs, morbidity, and mortality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine asthma mortality rates in Spain between 1990 and 2015.
  • Analyze trends in asthma-related deaths by gender and age group.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized National Institute of Statistics data on asthma deaths (gender, age groups) and population.
  • Calculated gross mortality rates per 100,000 inhabitants for specified periods.

Main Results:

  • In 2015, 1,134 deaths were attributed to asthma in Spain.
  • Asthma mortality rates remained stable over 25 years, higher than neighboring countries.
  • Male mortality declined >67%, while female mortality increased 32%; deaths concentrated in those >65 years.

Conclusions:

  • Asthma mortality trends in Spain show a concerning increase in females despite overall stability.
  • Age-specific analysis reveals a concentration of deaths in the elderly population.
  • Spain's asthma mortality rates for younger age groups (5-35) are among the lowest in Europe.
