Abstract
In the United States, the incidence of people with asthma has nearly doubled over the past 20 years. It is possible for anyone to develop asthma, yet there are some people who are more predisposed to developing the disease, either due to genetic or environmental factors. Who is at risk for developing asthma and can steps be taken to reduce this risk?
