Stabilization of an increasing trend in physician-diagnosed asthma prevalence in Saskatchewan, 1991 to 1998
2003, ChestCitation Excerpt :In the Registered Indian population in Saskatchewan, asthma prevalence was greater among preschool children and older adults throughout the study period from 1991 to 1998 in comparison to rural and urban populations. Interestingly, we observed similar patterns in asthma hospitalization rates among the Registered Indian population, although the study periods were different (1991 to 1998 vs 1970 to 1989).17 In a recent study29 conducted in the Province of Alberta, young children and older adults from the aboriginal population had greater age-standardized rates for emergency department visits and physician office visits for asthma or COPD than those rates in non-aboriginal populations.
Asthma and COPD among aboriginals in Alberta, Canada
2002, ChestCitation Excerpt :Hemmelgarn and Ernst16 found that 6% of school-aged Inuit children had exercise-induced bronchospasm and 8% had airflow obstruction. Senthilselvan and Habbick6 showed that the rates of hospitalization for asthma were up to three times higher in aboriginal than in nonaboriginal children. Interestingly, in the 1970s, the rates of asthma hospitalization in the aboriginal population were similar to those in the nonaboriginal communities, indicating a disproportionate rise in asthma-related hospitalization among aboriginals over the past 2 decades.
