asthma morbidity

Asthma morbidity refers to the health problems and impacts caused by asthma, such as frequent wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and limitations in daily activities. It also includes the number of asthma attacks, emergency visits, hospitalizations, and missed work or school days. Essentially, it measures how much asthma affects a person's quality of life and overall health. Managing morbidity involves controlling symptoms effectively to reduce these negative impacts and prevent serious complications.
