Abstract
In 2018, the prevalence of asthma in US children younger than 18 years was 7.5%, with higher proportions in children aged 5 to 14 years (8.6%), boys (8.3%), non-Hispanic Black children (14.3%), Puerto Rican children (17.0%), children in the Northeast (8.9%), and in those with the lowest household incomes (10.2%).1 Treatments have been developed to enhance asthma control,2-4 but a cure remains elusive, making prevention imperative.5-7Keywords
