Abstract

 Background-Few data exists on the prevalence of the symptoms of asthma among young adults. The prevalence of this common disease among this age group in Iran is not known. Methods-We studied the prevalence of asthma among secondary school students (aged 11-16 years) in the city of Mashhad using a standard questionnaire. Trained medical students interviewed a total of 5,534 students (in 55 schools), including 3,038 males and 2,496 females. The following symptoms were used as asthma symptoms: Recurrent wheeze, recurrent cough or tightness in the chest at rest, wheeze, cough or tightness in the chest during the night and early morning and wheeze or cough during exercise. Students with one or two symptoms were considered as suspected asthmatics and those with three or more symptoms, or having been previously diagnosed with asthma, as probable asthmatics and students in any of these two groups were defined as symptomatic subjects. Results-Results showed that 232 students (4.19%) including 115 males (3.78%) and 117 females (4.69%) had probable asthma. Family history of asthma (39.2%), history of allergy (55.2%) and smoking habit of parents of asthmatic students (49.1%) were significantly higher than normal students (in all cases p<0.0001). Only 35.17% of these students had been previously diagnosed and were under treatment. However, most students with treatment history have used only bronchodilator drugs(51.8% of treated students); and 13.23% of them had anti-inflammatory drugs in their treatment regimen. In addition 969 students (17.5%) had suspected asthma including 468 males (15.4%) and 501 females (20.1%). Conclusion-These results indicated a relatively high prevalence of asthma among secondary school students in the city of Mashhad, for which most of them had not been diagnosed and were not under treatment.
