Abstract
According to the WHO, asthma is the most common non-communicable disease among children with approximately 235 million people suffering worldwide. It has skyrocketed in recent decades, specifically in urban and modernized environments globally. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that children who grew up in rural areas have less asthma than those in urban environments. This study aims to discuss the various factors that are instrumental in reducing the susceptibility of asthma and allergies in children that were exposed to living on farms in the United States. The purpose of this study is to determine the factors that are significantly involved in reducing asthma risk in farm environments.
