Infantile Asthma Cases Rates Are Decreasing

Dec 28, 2015 By John Birks Leave a Comment

"Infantile Asthma Cases Rates Are Decreasing "

Asthma incidence in children has decreased to 8.3 percent in 2015, compared to 9.7 percent in 2011.

Medical examiners have determined that 2015 is truly fortuitous in terms of chronic inflammatory disease. Infantile asthma cases rates are decreasing, but racial disparity still shown its fangs.

Laura Akinbami, a medical researcher working for the National Center for Health Statistics, declared that recent reports have determined that childhood asthma rates have begun to decrease, although most of the world expected that the rates would continue to increase.

Historically speaking, the rates of infantile asthma have begun to peak somewhere in the 80s. According to medical records, between the 80s and the 90s, the rates of infantile asthma have doubled.

Medical examiners haven’t been able to discover the source of this increase, but there are a couple of environmental factors which can contribute in the case of infantile asthma. Secondhand smoking and a weakened immune system can also contribute to the rise of infantile asthma.

There are also other factors which should be taken into account such as a child’s predisposition towards obesity or even the improper development of one’s immune system.

Infantile asthma cases rates are decreasing and the numbers provided by the NCHS seem to back up this claim. The first clue which lead to this conclusion was provided by a fluctuation, which was first detected when the medical researcher performed an extended survey between 2001 and 2013.

The survey took into account children with and the average age of 17 years and even younger. According to their projection, it would seem that infantile asthma rates exercised a steady increase until 2011. During this year, nearly 9.3 percent of U.S children have been diagnosed with several forms of chronic inflammatory disease.

But during 2011 and 2013, something happened in terms of asthma trend. This change was reflected even in the numbers. In 2013, the percentage of children suffering from asthma has remained steady.

And now, it would seem that the rates are beginning to drop. According to Akinbami and her group of researchers, the rate of asthma cases has dropped to 8.3 percent. The team is not yet sure if we are dealing with a permanent drop or if it is just a function.

Infantile asthma cases rates are decreasing, yet there is another issue that raises concern. Although we are glad that fewer children are suffering from this disease, it would seem that the racial barrier is still in place.

Further research has proved that African-American children, especially those growing up in a poor environment, are more likely to develop asthma and subsequent complications than white children. Numbers state that approximately 14 percent of African-American children have asthma, whereas only 8 percent of white children are diagnosed with this disease.
