What is the tisk of developing asthma after 20s when my paternals have it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Any age: Most often asthma begins at an early age. Though the odds go down as we age, asthma can occur at any age and a family history can certainly contribute to this. To be sure, get checked by a physician with spirometry testing, allergy screening etc.
