Risk factors – Asthma Burden of Disease (AIHW 2024)
Risk factors – Asthma Burden of Disease (AIHW 2024)
Risk factors attributable burden of asthma: the Burden of Disease study estimated that in 2024:
– 36% of asthma total burden was due/attributed to all risk factors combined
– 24% was due/attributed to being overweight (including obesity)
– 7% was due/attributed to tobacco use
– 5% was due/attributed to occupational exposures and hazards
Air pollution, although not directly linked to asthma burden, was linked to other respiratory conditions and was estimated to contribute 7.5% to the burden of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
