Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition in which the airways become inflamed, narrowed, and produce excess mucus, making breathing more difficult. It affects a significant number of Australians, with around one in nine adults and one in five children living with the condition. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and are often triggered by specific environmental or lifestyle factors.
Asthma can develop at any age and may persist throughout life. Individuals with a family history of asthma or allergies are generally at higher risk. At its core, asthma is a common lung condition driven by airway inflammation and constriction.
