Prevalence of Asthma Symptoms and Environmental Triggers Among School-Aged Children in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia
This study demonstrates a notable prevalence of asthma symptoms among children in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia and identifies key environmental and familial risk factors. Household smoking, incense exposure, and carpeted bedrooms significantly increase the likelihood of asthma symptoms. These findings highlight the need for targeted public health interventions and environmental modifications to mitigate asthma risk in vulnerable pediatric populations.
