Asthma and women of colour

[Eupnoos]

Does Asthma affect women of colour more severely than men? Is this to do with genetic pre-disposition?

Hi Eupnoos. In answer to your question it would appear that genetics must have a lot to do with women of colour more being affected more severely than men.

This info is from 2012.

Hi there, thank you for the reply. I've read this paper and found that the conclusions are not published. They have the protocol listed but not the detailed findings.

It appears that even with clinical trials the latest information is from 2016 and has no actual results. A very disappointing state of affairs. I am always on the hunt for new medical information concerning lungs, if I do find anything I will be posting it and also let you know about it.
