Children and Teens with Asthma

City/Place: Oakland
Measurement Period: 2019-2020
This indicator shows the percentage of children aged 1-17 that have ever been diagnosed with asthma.

Why is this important?

Asthma is a condition in which a person's air passages become inflamed, and the narrowing of the respiratory passages makes it difficult to breathe. Asthma in children is a serious public health problem in the US; it is one of the most common long-term diseases in children. The National Health Interview Survey has found that persons under 18 years have higher rates of asthma than any other age group. Asthma in children results in missed days of school, limitations on daily activities, emergency department visits, and hospitalizations. Moreover, asthma disproportionately affects low-income and minority children.
