  • In the last decades, the frequency of allergic respiratory diseases (ARD) increased worldwide, especially asthma, allergic rhinitis (AR), and allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (ARC). Asthma is estimated to affect 300 million individuals. Prevalence of asthma varies highly around the world, from 1 to 18% (1). AR affects all ethnic groups, at all ages. It remains a significant health problem due to the high burden of symptoms and its impact on general well being and health-related quality of life (2). Data on prevalence rates of asthma and AR in European adults and children come mostly from the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS) and the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC, http://isaac.auckland.ac.nz), respectively. As regards adults, the highest prevalence of asthma is in Scotland (18.3%), whereas the lowest is in Albania (1.3%). Asthma is reported by about 13% of European children, with highest prevalence in UK (about 26%) and lowest in Albania (3%). In Italy, asthma is reported by 10% of children, 8.9% of young adults, and 4.5% of adults. It has been estimated that the prevalence of asthma in adults living in Western Europe has doubled, in the last 10 yrs. Two longitudinal Italian studies on general population samples showed an evident increase of wheeze, especially in 25-64 old males living in a rural area of North Italy (from 14 to 27%)(3). The increment of wheeze is evident overall in Italian children 6-7 years old (4). (literal)
