Cross‐sectional epidemiological survey of asthma in <scp>J</scp>inan, <scp>C</scp>hina

Abstract

The asthma prevalence for all ages in Jinan was relatively low compared with that in western countries; however, local asthma control fell markedly short from the goals of the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) criteria for asthma management, which may be attributed to the poor adherence to GINA guidelines, especially the underuse of preventative medication of inhaled corticosteroids.
