Asthma and Gender: Understanding Prevalence and Differences

There is no significant difference in asthma prevalence between males and females; both genders are equally likely to develop asthma. However, there are notable differences in how asthma manifests:

• Males are more likely to have severe asthma and experience asthma-related deaths.
• Females are more likely to have asthma symptoms triggered by hormonal changes.

These differences highlight the importance of personalized asthma management plans that account for gender-specific triggers and severity patterns.
