What does the 'A' in SALSA Mild Persistent Asthma represent?

In the context of the SALSA classification for asthma severity, the 'A' specifically refers to "Minor limitation." This classification system categorizes asthma symptoms and their impact on daily activities.

Mild persistent asthma is characterized by symptoms that occur more than twice a week but less than once a day. During these episodes, individuals with mild persistent asthma experience some minor limitations in their activities. This means they can generally function well most of the time but may have slight restrictions when symptoms arise.

The other aspects of the SALSA framework focus on different levels of symptom severity and their implications, but the 'A' directly emphasizes the minor limitation faced by individuals with this severity classification.
