Investigation of the Prevalence and Associated Risk Factors of Asthma and Allergic Diseases in Children aged 13-14 in Adıyaman Province
Abstract
Aim: While the prevalence of allergic diseases in Turkey cannot be determined clearly due to the regional nature of the studies, it is known that the frequency is increasing. The aim of this study is to evaluate the frequency of allergic diseases and risk factors in Adıyaman province.
Material and Method: The research was conducted as a cross-sectional prospective. The research was carried out in Adıyaman province between November 2021 and January 2022. The universe of the research consists of students aged 13-14 studying in secondary and high schools.
Results: In our study, the prevalence of wheezing in the chest at any time during their lifetime was determined as 10.5%. In the last year, this rate has been determined as 4.9%. 4.9% of the participants stated that their child was diagnosed with asthma by the doctor. The rate of participants diagnosed with hay fever was 3.1%.
Conclusion: Although allergic diseases and asthma are diseases with an increasing frequency, it is striking that they are not yet fully recognized by the society. Studies have shown that family burden is an important risk factor. The necessity of using all communication channels in order to increase the health literacy of the society shows itself in every research.
