How many people die of asthma a day?

Answer 1

Here's a cut and past from the AAFA website talking about Asthma mortality.

Mortality

* Each day 11 Americans die from asthma. There are more than 4,000 deaths due to asthma each year, many of which are avoidable with proper treatment and care. In addition, asthma is indicated as "contributing factor" for nearly 7,000 other deaths each year. [14]

* Since 1980 asthma death rates overall have increased more than 50% among all genders, age groups and ethnic groups. The Death Rate for children under 19 years old has increased by nearly 80% percent since 1980. [15]

* More females die of asthma than males, and women account for nearly 65% of asthma deaths overall. [16]

* African Americans are three times more likely to die from asthma. African American Women have the highest asthma mortality rate of all groups, more than 2.5 times higher than Caucasian women. [17]
