Asthma prevalence in Australia

The word prevalence means how common a condition or disease is in a population. Asthma prevalence refers to how many people have asthma.

• In 2007-8, 9.9% of the population stated they had current asthma. Rounding these numbers, we can say that about 10% of the population (2 million people) have asthma currently
• Asthma prevalence in Australia is high by international standards. The reason for this is unknown
• Asthma prevalence in children and young adults has decreased slightly over the last few years. Prevalence remains unchanged in older adults
• Prevalence is higher in people 75 and over, being at least 11%
• In the 0-14 year age group more boys than girls have asthma
• In the 15 years and over age group more females have asthma than males
• The majority of children with asthma in Australia have infrequent intermittent asthma, which means they have occasional 'episodes' of asthma symptoms lasting a short period of time, and only take medication when they have symptoms rather than every day
• Less than 5% of children with asthma have persistent asthma
• The majority of adults with asthma have mild or very mild asthma
• In the 2001 to 2004-05 period the gap in prevalence between the least disadvantaged and the most disadvantaged localities increased
