The CDC reported that as of May 2011, about 25 million Americans, which isone in 12 individuals in the US, had asthma. In 2015, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) reported that globally about 250 million people had asthma. According to the WHO factsheet 2016, approximately 8% of the Swiss population, four million Germans, three million Japanese, and 15-20 million Indians are estimated to have asthma.
