Prevalence Trends for Asthma and Asthma Attacks
Among noninstitutionalized adults, 18.9 million (8.2%, or 1 in 12) experienced asthma in 2009, as did 7.1 million (9.5%, or 1 in 11) children. More than half (52.2%) of children with asthma were diagnosed within the past 5 years.

The average length of hospital stay for asthma treatment was 3.6 days, and asthma claimed nine lives each day. The CDC estimated that asthma cost $56 billion per year, and the average annual cost of care for a child with asthma was $1,039.....
