Asthma rates increase by 400 percent in UK since 70s That's what this new BBC report says. This was apparently a surprise, as some researchers thought British asthma rates were falling:
The results contradict other recent research which indicated the number of asthma cases had levelled off.
Dr Burr, epidemiologist at the University Hospital of Wales, in Cardiff, said: "Just when we thought we may have turned a corner, our research shows that asthma prevalence has in fact rocketed in the last 30 years.
"It is possible that asthma prevalence peaked in the 1990s but this study confirms that we cannot be complacent."
Looking at the same medical model may be complacent. Try some alternatives.
