Asthma is a common respiratory disease in children. We aimed to update information about the incidence and mortality disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of childhood asthma provide evidence-based recommendations for prevention.Data were obtained from Global Burden Disease (GBD) study, which was conducted 1990 2019 204 countries. First, we estimated incidence, DALY rates using Bayesian meta-regression model. Second, analyzed relationship between sociodemographic index (SDI) DALYs different age groups. Third, studied changes trends age-standardized rate based on group, SDI, risk factors.Globally, number deaths due 12.9 thousand (95% UI 10.6 15.7), 22 million 15 31), 5.1 3.4 7.5) 2019, decreasing by 65.1% 47.6 72.4), 5.3% 2.6 8.8) 30% 18 41) those 1990, respectively. With exception high-SDI regions, all groups SDI regions declined. In 1- 4-year-old individuals highest low-SDI that 5- 19-year-old regions. contrast had higher asthma, except aged 1 4 years. A high body mass (BMI) stronger factor than occupational asthmagens asthma.Our findings insight into prevention treatment through identification key factors related asthma. Based data available, according group region/country suggest strategies, preventing
