Study Says U.S. Childhood Asthma Rates May Be Leveling Off, But Not Among The Poor

Elk Grove Village, IL—(ENEWSPF)—December 31, 2015. A federal study suggests the childhood “asthma epidemic” may be levelling off or even declining after years of steady increases, but not among poor children. Researchers at the National Center for Health Statistics analyzed asthma rates between 2001 and 2013 for the study, “Changing Trends in Asthma Prevalence among Children,” to be published in the January 2016 issue of Pediatrics (published online Dec. 28).
