Abstract
Purpose of review: To analyze and present recently published information on the factors that modify the burden of asthma and rhinitis in pediatric ages, such as ecological determinants; highlighting access and adherence to medications, exposure to pollutants and climate change. In addition to individual determinants such as obesity, protective & risk factors and comorbidities.
Recent findings: Asthma and rhinitis continue to have a significant impact worldwide on the health of affected patients, primarily children. The burden of asthma is greatest in developing countries and vulnerable populations, resulting in increased morbidity, potentially preventable asthma deaths and socioeconomic consequences.
Summary: A better understanding and representation of the burden of asthma and rhinitis in children can contribute to prevention strategies and improvements in the care of pediatric patients.
