Women with asthma generally have more symptoms than men. They also rely more on rescue medications. Make sure your asthma action plan works for you.
Women are more likely than men to have COPD and asthma. They also have more severe symptoms.
Women face higher rates of misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis of COPD, which may impact their treatment.
Women often have jobs that expose them to indoor pollutants (such as cleaning products, cigarette smoke, dust mites, and mold) that can make asthma worse.
