title: [Evaluation of the frequency of asthma among the adolescents attending school in the Bas-Rhin (author's transl)].
abstract: The frequency of asthma in a population including all the adolescents attending school in the department of Bas-Rhin (29 138) in May and June 1976, is 4,1%. This rate is 4,9% in boys and 3,4% in girls. The frequency of asthma is higher in urban areas (5,0%) than in rural areas (3,8%). Asthma is related to respiratory symptoms and is related to more school absenteeism (26%) than in non asthmatics (13,7%). These findings are confirmed by the data given in other medical surveys.
