西班牙裔健康和营养检查调查（HHANES）（1982年至1984年）和国家健康和营养检查调查（NHANES）II（1976年至1980年）的数据用于检查6个月大至11岁儿童中报告的医生诊断的哮喘。波多黎各人活动性哮喘的患病率最高：11.2%，而非西班牙裔白人为3.3%，非西班牙裔黑人为5.9%，墨西哥裔美国人为2.7%，古巴人为5.2%。卫生服务利用率和严重程度似乎不能解释波多黎各人和墨西哥裔美国人之间的差异。关于哮喘的教育计划应该考虑把重点放在波多黎各人身上。
Data from the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (HHANES) (1982 through 1984) and the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) II (1976 through 1980) were used to examine reported physician-diagnosed asthma among 6-month-old through 11-year-old children. The highest prevalence of active asthma was reported for Puerto Ricans: 11.2% compared with 3.3% for non-Hispanic Whites, 5.9% for non-Hispanic Blacks, 2.7% for Mexican Americans, and 5.2% for Cubans. Health services utilization and severity do not appear to explain the differences between Puerto Ricans and Mexican Americans. Educational programs on asthma should consider focusing on Puerto Ricans.
