Other contributing factors, however, remain to be identified. Systemic inflammation in asthma plays a significant role in the development of other diseases. We therefore initiated a study to assess whether the growing prevalence of asthma is associated with an increase in the risk of CKD.展开更多

In China, while national data of asthma prevalence are still lacking, an epidemiological study in Beijing showed that the prevalence of asthma in occupational populations was 1.25%. Based on epidemiological data reported in different regions, it is estimated that 15-20 million people suffer from asthma in the mainland of China,^4 and its prevalence continues to rise. A national epidemiological study of childhood asthma in the year of 2000 showed that the prevalence of asthma in urban children under the age of 14 years was 0.12%-3.34% in different regions,展开更多
