Fig 1 Trends in asthma hospitalization rates and rate ratios for children ages 5 to 18 years and adults ages 19 to 34 years from 1980 through 2002. Blue lines, Black subjects; yellow lines, white subjects. Crude rates of asthma hospitalization discharges are depicted across years. Simple linear regression fits to the data across years were done by estimating trend.
