Modifiable Risk Factors:
- Tobacco smoke (active or secondhand): Exposure to tobacco smoke irritates airways and increases inflammation.
- Air pollution: Exposure to high levels of particulate matter, ozone, and other air pollutants can trigger asthma symptoms.
- Allergens: Exposure to allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and mold spores can trigger asthma attacks.
- Exercise: Vigorous or prolonged exercise in cold or dry air can trigger asthma in some people.
- Respiratory infections: Viral infections, such as the common cold and the flu, can exacerbate asthma symptoms.
- Obesity: Excess weight puts pressure on the lungs and can worsen asthma symptoms.
- Diet: Certain foods, such as sulfites and preservatives, may trigger asthma in some people.
- Stress: Severe or prolonged stress can trigger asthma symptoms in some individuals.
Non-Modifiable Risk Factors:
- Family history of asthma: Having a parent or sibling with asthma increases the risk of developing the condition.
- Age: Asthma is most commonly diagnosed in children and young adults, although it can occur at any age.
- Gender: Females are more likely to develop asthma than males.
- Atopy: A predisposition to allergic reactions, such as eczema, hay fever, or food allergies.
- Exposure to certain chemicals: Certain occupational exposures, such as chemicals in cleaning products and paints, may increase the risk of asthma.
- Respiratory Tract Infections: Respiratory infections during childhood may increase the risk of asthma and allergies.
- Low Birth Weight: Premature birth or low birth weight has been linked to an increased risk of asthma.
- Tobacco smoke (active or secondhand): Exposure to tobacco smoke irritates airways and increases inflammation.
- Air pollution: Exposure to high levels of particulate matter, ozone, and other air pollutants can trigger asthma symptoms.
