A member asked:
What is the average life span for a moderate to severe asthmatic person?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal: A well controlled asthmatic, regardless of severity, generally has an 'average' lifespan comparable to those without asthma. Logically, uncontrolled asthma is a risk factor for a shorter life.
