The prevalence of bronchial asthma among adolescents, depending on the climatic zones in the Republic of Dagestan

Apasheva Shuanat Akhmednabievna, Abdullayeva Baryat Saypulaevna

1950 adolescents aged 14-18 were subjected to an expeditionary epidemiological survey, of which there were 1020 urban residents (52.3%), rural residents - 930 (47.7%). In general, among adolescents, BA was detected in 99 people out of 1950 examined (5.0 + 0.7%). At the same time, BA was most often established in adolescents living in an urban climatic zone and these data were reliably higher than among rural residents. At the same time, the prevalence of asthma among the two groups of surveyed rural adolescents (mountainous and lowland) did not differ statistically significantly. In 63 cases out of 99 BA patients (63.6%), the diagnosis was made by us for the first time.
