title: [Asthma symptoms and anti-asthma drugs in 4 Scandinavian countries].
abstract: A study of the occurrence of asthma in six areas in four Nordic countries showed 18-25 percent of the populations investigated to have had wheezing or whistling in the airways during the previous 12-month period, and 2-3 percent to have had asthma attacks. The use of anti-asthmatics was found to have differed from one to another of the areas included in the study, and the result suggest the difference to depend upon corresponding differences in the extent to which an active approach to treatment was adopted for the care of patients with asthmatic problems.
