Journal of Asthma 2007 July
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of asthma in German adults.
METHODS: This analysis used data of 8,318 German adults 18 years of age and older who had participated in the German National Telephone Survey, a nationally representative cross-sectional study.
RESULTS: The overall lifetime prevalence of asthma in German adults was 5.7%. It ranges between 4.3% in East and 6.0% in West Germany. Logistic regression analysis showed that asthma was associated with unemployment, younger age, and living in West Germany.
CONCLUSION: This study provides further evidence that differences exist in the prevalence of asthma between East and West Germany.
