  • 1. Asthma Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X20040027790
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Just over 8% of the population aged 12 or older, an estimated 2.2 million Canadians, had asthma in 2003. In the three-year period from April 1998 to March 2001, about 80,000 people were hospitalized for asthma. The asthma mortality rate among both males and females has dropped almost steadily since 1985.

    Description:

    This paper explores the relationship between low income and prevalence of asthma. The genetic and environmental determinants are incompletely understood. It has been observed in a previous study that Canadians with low incomes are at increased risk of asthma. Based on data from 17,605 subjects 12 years of age or older who participated in the first cycle of the National Population Health Survey (NPHS) from 1994 to 1995, males and females with low incomes had 1.44- and 1.33-fold increases, respectively, in the prevalence of asthma compared with their counterparts with high incomes. However, there was no significant difference observed between middle and high income categories. Therefore, it is not clear if there is a more systematic relationship between income adequacy and asthma occurrence. A much larger sample size of the second cycle of the NPHS allowed us to further explore if the prevalence of asthma increases with decreasing income adequacy among Canadians.
