Edited by MSD / Chibret laboratories and produced under the scientific direction of Professor Michel Aubier, from the Bichat hospital in Paris, this collection currently includes four books: “Asthme et sports d’hiver”, “Asthme et rhinitis allergic “,” Asthma and water sports “, and” Asthma and back to school “.
Created in partnership with the Asthme et Allergie association, this collection is intended as an awareness tool to support asthmatics, and mainly children. If they are familiar with the disease, and actively participate in its treatment, they would have a better chance of recovery.
“Can a child with asthma go to the swimming pool every week?”, “Should he prepare to go to altitude,” are examples of questions addressed in these books.
3.5 million people have asthma in France, a third of whom are children. 10 to 15% of school-aged children and 10 to 18% of adolescents have asthma, asthma being the first chronic disease in school-aged children.
