Wednesday, April 02 - 2008 at 07:39
A new study has found that people from Middle Eastern countries are developing lung disease at a younger age, reported Gulf News. The 46-country Greatest International Antibiotic Trial (Giant) studied the prevalence of acute exacerbate chronic bronchitis, a form of lung disease, and the effectiveness of Bayer Schering Pharma's antibiotic in treating it. It found a majority of the 4,300 subjects in the Middle East were reporting the disease at 48.5 years old, the youngest compared to other regions. The average age for lung disease in Latin America was 63.1 years, followed by Europe at 60.5 and Asia-Pacific with 57.1 years.
