ASTHMA 
	•	Causes: Asthma is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. It is believed that certain genetic variations increase the likelihood of developing asthma, and exposure to allergens or irritants can trigger symptoms.

	•	Symptoms: Common symptoms of asthma include wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.

	•	Risk factors: Risk factors for developing asthma include a family history of asthma or allergies, exposure to tobacco smoke, air pollution, and respiratory infections during early childhood.

	•	Prevalence: Affecting approximately 300 million people worldwide. The prevalence of asthma varies between countries and regions, but it is generally more common in urban areas and in low- and middle-income countries.

	•	Why is it common within this group: Asthma is more common in children because their airways are narrower, their immune systems are still developing, they spend more time in environments with asthma triggers, and they have a greater tendency to breathe through their mouths, which can irritate the airways.

	•	Diagnosis: Asthma is typically diagnosed based on a combination of symptoms, physical examination, and lung function tests, such as spirometry. Other tests, such as allergy tests and imaging studies, may also be used to help confirm the diagnosis.

	•	Treatment: This is usually achieved through a combination of medications, such as inhaled corticosteroids, bronchodilators, and leukotriene modifiers. In severe cases, oral corticosteroids or biologic therapies may be recommended.

	•	Prevention: While asthma cannot be prevented, the risk of developing asthma can be reduced by avoiding exposure to known triggers, such as allergens and tobacco smoke, and by maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

	•	Impact on lives and families: Asthma can have a significant impact on the lives of individuals and their families, affecting daily activities, work, school, and social interactions. Managing asthma effectively requires ongoing treatment and monitoring to prevent complications and improve quality of life.

HYPERTENSION: 


- Causes: Can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, lifestyle choices (such as diet and exercise), and age-related changes in the body.

- Symptoms: Called the "silent killer" because it typically has no symptoms. In some cases, people may experience headaches, dizziness, or nosebleeds, but these symptoms are not specific to hypertension and can be caused by other factors.

- Risk factors: Risk factors for hypertension in older adults include age, family history of hypertension, unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, excess weight, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and certain medical conditions (such as diabetes, kidney disease, and sleep apnea).

- Prevalence: Hypertension is common among older adults, with the risk increasing with age. According to the CDC, about 65% of Americans aged 60 or older have hypertension.

- Why is it common within this group: Hypertension becomes more common with age due to changes in the structure and function of the arteries, as well as lifestyle factors that accumulate over time. Additionally, older adults are more likely to have other risk factors for hypertension, such as obesity and chronic diseases.

- Diagnosis: Hypertension is diagnosed based on blood pressure measurements taken on multiple occasions. A diagnosis of hypertension is typically made if blood pressure readings consistently exceed 130/80 mm Hg.

- Treatment: Treatment for hypertension in older adults typically involves lifestyle changes (such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management) and medications (such as diuretics, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers, beta-blockers, and calcium channel blockers).

- Prevention: Hypertension can be prevented or managed through lifestyle changes, such as maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol intake, and not smoking.

- Impact on lives and families: Hypertension can have a significant impact on the lives of older adults and their families, as it increases the risk of serious health problems such as heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and dementia. Managing hypertension effectively can improve quality of life and reduce the risk of these complications.
