Aim: Purpose of our research is to establish the increased incidence of asthma with adolescent age group Methodology: A cross-sectional, school-based study carried out amongst 1200 children. In our study, we took into consideration about various demographic patterns like lifestyle patterns, health issues, as well a comparison between asthmatics and non- asthmatics. Comparison between the two groups was done by analysing data using Statistical Analysis Software 25.0. Results: Among a final sample of 1198 participants, the prevalence of self-reported asthma was found to be 8.2%. Various characteristics were found significantly different between the 2 groups including the gender, the weight and dietary patterns. Self –reported asthmatic were more likely to be males, overweight or obese. Conclusion: Asthma disease remains prevalent among adolescents and requires higher awareness and better guidance for its prevention and treatment. Further efforts should focus on health promotion and as well as improved quality of life so as to prevent this chronic disease.
