Why Is This Important?

Asthma causes repeated episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and nighttime or early morning coughing.¹

Definition

Deaths with asthma as the underlying cause of death. ICD-10 codes: J45-J46

Data Notes

Data have been age-adjusted to the U.S. 2000 standard population.
This is Healthy New Jersey 2020 (HNJ2020) Objective AS-1.

Data for White and Black do not include Hispanics. Hispanic ethnicity includes persons of any race. The number of deaths due to asthma among Asians is too low to calculate reliable rates.
