Les paramÃ¨tres analysÃ©s concernent les caractÃ©ristiques de la population Ã©tudiÃ©e (Ã¢ge, sexe, profession et statut matrimonial). Au total 296 patients asthmatiques, soit 36,5% dâ€™hommes contre 63,5% de femmes, ont Ã©tÃ© enregistrÃ©s avec un Ã¢ge mÃ©dian qui Ã©tait de 35 ans. 234 rÃ©pondants Ã la variable catÃ©gorie socioprofessionnelle, Ã©taient composÃ©s de mÃ©nagÃ¨res (24,8%), dâ€™Ã©lÃ¨ves et dâ€™Ã©tudiants (20,1%), de commerÃ§ants (17,5%), de bureaucrates (6,8%), de personnel de santÃ© (6%) et dâ€™enseignants et de maÃ®tres coraniques (3,8%).
