Conclusion :-
Prevalence of asthma was 6.13%. Family history is strong determinant of asthma. Socioeconomic difference can be contributory to the manifestation of asthma .We feel that more schools should be screened in this manner to get better representation of prevalence in the city. Such studies should be done at regular intervals so that trends in burden of disease can be determined and preventive methods be implemented. Future studies correlating air quality and life style with asthma is required for prevention planning.
