ASMR is crucial for several reasons: 1. Identifying Vulnerable Age Groups: It helps in identifying which age groups are more susceptible to certain diseases or health conditions, allowing for targeted healthcare strategies. 2. Monitoring Public Health Trends: ASMR can reveal trends over time, indicating whether the health of specific age groups is improving or deteriorating. 3. Resource Allocation: Understanding ASMR helps in the optimal allocation of healthcare resources, ensuring that high-risk age groups receive adequate attention and care. 4. Evaluating Interventions: By comparing ASMR before and after public health interventions, policymakers can assess the effectiveness of their strategies.
