Colombia experienced a decreasing trend in asthma mortality between 1979 and 1994, contrasting with industrialized nations. Despite this decline, asthma death rates remain high in the country.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Epidemiology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Industrialized nations report rising asthma mortality over two decades.
  • Limited national studies on asthma mortality exist in Latin America.

Observation:

  • This study analyzed Colombian death certificates from 1979 to 1994.
  • Asthma mortality rates in Colombia showed an initial increase then a decrease.
  • Deaths were more common in individuals over 35 years old.

Findings:

  • Overall asthma mortality trend in Colombia decreased from 1979 to 1994.
  • Age-adjusted rates mirrored this decreasing trend.
  • Sixty-two percent of asthma deaths occurred at home, predominantly in urban areas.

Implications:

  • Colombia's decreasing asthma mortality contrasts with global trends in industrialized countries.
  • Despite the decrease, asthma mortality rates in Colombia remain elevated.
  • Further research into the specific factors influencing these trends is warranted.
