Extractions: Academy News : November 1998 New study reports asthma prevalence in 1996 U.S. Summer Olympic athletes At least one in six athletes representing the United States in the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta had a history of asthma, according to a study published today in the November issue of the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology Researchers at the University of Iowa and the U.S. Olympic Committee sought to examine how many athletes in the 1996 Olympic Games had a history of asthma, had taken asthma medications or had symptoms that suggested asthma. To examine asthma prevalence, John Weiler, M.D., FAAAAI, University of Iowa professor of internal medicine, and his co-authors analyzed responses from an extensive, mandatory medical history questionnaire required of all U.S. athletes competing in the 1996 Olympic Games. The questionnaire was completed during team processing in Atlanta two weeks prior to participation in the Olympic Games and responses were reviewed with each athlete. The questionnaire, designed by the U.S. Olympic Committee Sports Medicine Division with input from Weiler and his colleagues, included specific questions regarding allergic and respiratory disorders. Although 4-7% of the general population is reported to have asthma, the number of athletes who reported asthma was considerably higher. Out of the 699 athletes who completed the questionnaire, 117 (16.7%) were found to have a history of asthma, use of asthma medications, or both. Seventy-three (10.4%) of the athletes had active asthma, based on their need for asthma medication at the time of the questionnaire or their need for medication on a permanent or semi-permanent basis.

Following this recognition, the CISS agreed at the 14th Congress in Milan in 1957 to amend its statues in accordance with the Olympic spirit. This meant that the word "Olympic" and five ring emblems shall not be used by the CISS. At the same Congress, Argentina, German Democratic Republic, Chile, Greece, Iran, Israel, Turkey, Uruguay and the U.S.S.R., were welcomed as new members, bringing the total membership to 32 nations.
