Five percent of all adults living in the United States must cope with asthma, a serious, sometimes life-threatening chronic respiratory condition. The percentage of children living with asthma is even higher. This AMA Guide is a one-volume paperback reference guide that provides solid scientific information in a clear and intelligible style.
The overall structure of the book moves from description to prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and lifestyle, and includes information on "self-help" techniques that might prove useful in preventing asthma attacks, or in lessening their severity. Also included is a list of answers to commonly asked questions about asthma, and a list of asthma organizations that can provide further help and support.
