Abstract
Two major studies on asthma and respiratory symptoms are presently in progress in Stockholm. The FinEsS‐studies has been ongoing since 1996, with a follow‐up study preformed in 2006 and a new cohort selected in 2007. The FinEsS studies focus on prevalence and incidence of asthma and respiratory symptoms in a general population. Clinical follow‐up surveys will also target COPD. Further aims include remission and relapse of disease and symptoms and their determinants. The Stockholm adult Asthma Study (SaAS) began in the spring of 2007 and data is being collected presently. The SaAS study focus on the medical care and medication given to asthmatics in Stockholm, and the study population consists of asthmatics found in the two Swedish cohort studies.Please cite this paper as: Ekerljung L and Lundbäck B.
