Is asthma curable? Statistically, what is the survival rate of asthma?

1 answer

Asthma is a chronic condition that currently does not have a cure. However, it can be managed effectively with medication and lifestyle changes.

The survival rate of asthma is generally excellent, with only a small percentage of asthma-related deaths occurring each year. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2017, there were approximately 3,600 asthma-related deaths in the United States, which represents less than 1% of the total deaths due to respiratory conditions. With proper management and treatment, the vast majority of individuals with asthma are able to live healthy and active lives.
