Asthma is a condition that affects the airways-the small tubes that carry air in and out of the lungs.

 

No one knows exactly what causes asthma. What we do know is:

  • Anyone can develop asthma. It is very common in Ireland, where over 470,000 adults and children have asthma.
  • It can start at any time of life, although it most often begins in childhood.
  • Sometimes it affects several family members e.g. if you have parents or brothers and sisters with asthma or allergy (e.g. Eczema or hay fever) you are more likely to have it yourself.
  • Conditions like hay-fever, eczema, or hives, which are usually the result of allergy, may occur along with Asthma.
  • Many aspects of modern lifestyles such as changes in housing, diet and a more sterile home environment may have contributed to the rise in asthma over the last few decades.
