Asthma doesn't discriminate; it affects individuals across various demographics. According to research, asthma impacts people of all:
- Ethnic groups
- Genders (male and female)
- Age groups (young and old)
- Locations (city and rural dwellers)
In the United States, over 25 million people have asthma. It's especially common among children and teens, with roughly 3 students in a typical classroom of 30 having asthma.
