摘要
Asthma, a common airway disease, results in a significant burden to both patients and society worldwide. Yet, despite global political commitment backed by the United Nations, progress to reduce the burden of asthma remains inadequate. This is particularly true in low-income countries. To date, progress has been delayed by the lack of uniform data collection, imperfect surveillance methods, inadequate resources, poor access to effective therapies, substandard asthma education, ineffective governmental policies, rapid urbanization, progressive increase in asthma prevalence, increased life expectancy and obesity rates worldwide, asthma heterogeneity and disease complexity, smoking, and environmental exposures to allergens and pollution. A thorough understanding of the challenges facing the international community is essential to define future strategies to improve the burden of asthma.
