asthma-related morbidity and mortality

Asthma-related morbidity refers to the health problems and reduced quality of life caused by asthma symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, frequent attacks, and limitations in daily activities. Mortality means death resulting from severe asthma episodes, often due to delayed treatment or lack of proper management. Both morbidity and mortality highlight the importance of controlling asthma effectively through medication, avoiding triggers, and regular medical care to reduce the risk of serious health consequences. Proper management can prevent symptoms from worsening and save lives.
