Socio-economic status and bronchial asthma

Original language description

Low socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Bronchial asthma (AB), its exacerbation and its high degree is associated with a low socioeconomic situation. Low incomes are associated with reduced quality of life, increased unemployment, lower work rates, lower financial ratings, less professional downtime, often with manual work that is associated with higher asthma prevalence. The research carried out in the Pneumology and Phthisiology Out-patient Clinic of the Department of Internal Medicine of the University Hospital in Nitra included 506 respondents aged 19 and over with a diagnosis of bronchial asthma. The main research methods used were the questionnaire, the asthma control test and the medical documentation analysis. Questions in the questionnaire focused on identification, demographic and socioeconomic factors. The obtained data were processed by descriptive statistics and cluster analysis. Low SES worsened the stabilization of bronchial asthma and respondents do not use treatment of asthma regularly. Those with a higher education, employment, and a certain income (old-age pensioners) have more stabilized bronchial asthma. A better socioeconomic situation in a respondent positively affects the observation of the treatment of bronchial asthma and improves asthma control.
