Incidence and prevalence of adult asthma is associated with low socio-economic status
The Clinical Respiratory Journal, 09/17/09

Ekerljung L et al. – Low socio–economic status is significantly associated with an increased risk for prevalent and incident asthma and respiratory symptoms in this longitudinal population–based survey. The increase in risk was most pronounced in manual workers. Several studies have recently shown an association between low socio–economic status and respiratory symptoms and the authors conclude that asthma can not be considered as a disease that mainly affects the middle and upper socio–economic classes.
