PROBLEMS OF ASTHMA IN CHILDREN IN ASIA: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW.

The non-communicable illness of asthma affects people all over the world and has serious negative effects on both children's and adults' health, including high morbidity and, in extreme situations, fatality. One of the major reasons for hospitalization, especially for children under the age of 5, is asthma, whose incidence has grown over the last 20 years. Since they are associated with worse quality of life, restrictions on physical activity, and poor academic achievement, intangible costs are impossible to quantify. The published research that addressed the issues and risk factors associated with asthma prompted the development of the aforementioned review. Online databases such as Pubmed, Cinhal, and Medline were searched, and all relevant studies are also included without regard to language. After that, databases being accessed to allow for a more thorough literature search utilizing key terms and Logic operators to produce articles pertinent to the subject. To reduce the findings to eight manageable articles, these papers were chosen using an inclusion/exclusion criterion. These eight publications were examined, and the findings showed that nutrition, eating habits, air pollution, and plastic bottles all increased the likelihood of developing asthma. Asthma prevalence has increased as a result of these behaviors. As a result, the present review research has identified a number of host-related and environmental risk factors for asthma in the Asian population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
