Asthma is a chronic disease that affects the airways in the lungs, causing repeated episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and nighttime or early morning coughing. It is partially modifiable through current asthma knowledge and management, but it is seen as a serious health problem in need of immediate attention. The document evaluates asthma and two other potential health problems based on their nature, modifiability, preventive potential, and perceived salience.
