Introduction: the temporal evolution of the prevalence of asthma described in the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) in 2002 is unknown, or if the geographical or age differences are maintained in Spain. Objective: to describe the prevalence of asthma symptoms in different Spanish geographical areas and compare it with that of those centers that participated in the ISAAC. Methods: cross-sectional study of asthma prevalence, carried out in 2016-2019 with 19,943 adolescents aged 13-14 years and 17,215 schoolchildren aged 6-7 years from six Spanish geographical areas (Cartagena, Bilbao, Cantabria, La Coruña, Pamplona and Salamanca). Asthma symptoms were collected using a written questionnaire and video questionnaire according to the Global Asthma Network (GAN) protocol. Results: the prevalence of recent wheezing (last 12 months) was 15.3% at 13-14 years and 10.4% at 6-7 years, with variations in adolescents, from 19% in Bilbao to 10.2% in Cartagena; and in schoolchildren, from 11.7% in Cartagena to 7% in Pamplona. These prevalences were higher than those of the ISAAC (10.6% in adolescents and 9.9% in schoolchildren). About 21.3% of adolescents and 12.4% of schoolchildren reported asthma at some time. Conclusions: there is a high prevalence of asthmatic symptoms with an increase in adolescents and a stabilization in Spanish schoolchildren with respect to the ISAAC. Geographical variations in asthma prevalence are not so clearly appreciated, but areas with high prevalences maintain high numbers. [--]
