- Background: Asthma is a common chronic disease presenting with airway symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness and attacks of breathlessness. Underdiagnosis of asthma is common and correlates to negative outcomes such as a lower quality of life and reduced work capacity.Purpose: This study aims to identify factors for not being diagnosed with asthma if presenting with asthma symptoms.Patients and Methods: A questionnaire was sent to 45,000 subjects (age 16-74 years) in Sweden. Subjects who reported both wheeze and breathlessness and wheeze when not having a cold were defined as having asthma-related symptoms. Data on demographics, educational level, smoking, physical activity, comorbidities, symptoms and asthma were collected. Logistic regression was used to identify risk factors for not being diagnosed with asthma.Results: Of the 25,391 who responded to the survey, 6.2% reported asthma-related symptoms. Of these, 946 had been diagnosed with asthma previously, while 632 had not. Independent risk factors for not being diagnosed with asthma were higher age (OR (95% CI) (2.17 (1.39-3.40))), male sex (1.46 (1.17-1.81)), current smoking (2.92 (2.22-3.84)), low level of education (1.43 (1.01-2.01)), low physical activity (1.36 (1.06-1.74)), and hypertension (1.50 (1.06-2.12)).Conclusion: Men, smokers, older subjects, and those with low educational level or low physical activity are less likely to be diagnosed with asthma despite presenting asthma-related symptoms.
