Definition
A reversible chronic inflammatory airway disease that is characterized by bronchial hyper-responsiveness of the airways to various stimuli leading to wide spread bronchoconstriction, airflow limitation and inflammation of the bronchi causing symptoms of cough, wheeze, chest tightness and dyspnea.

EPIDEMIOLOGY• Asthma affects 5-10% of the population or an estimated
23.4 million persons, including 7 million children.• Annually, WHO has estimated that 15 million disability-
adjusted life-years are lost and 250,000 asthma deaths are reported worldwide
• Asthma predominantly occurs in boys in childhood, with a male-to-female ratio of 2:1 until puberty, when the male-to-female ratio becomes 1:1.
• Asthma prevalence is greater in females after puberty, and the majority of adult-onset cases diagnosed in persons older than 40 years occur in females.

respiration • Increased use of accessory respiratory muscles
(e.g intercostals)
