Epi-Asthma‘s article was awarded the Best Scientific Article 2025 at the MGFamiliar ceremony of the Prémios Médicos de Família de Ouro, held on January 9, 2026. This distinction recognises the scientific excellence and relevance of the article “Prevalence of asthma in Portuguese adults – the EPI-ASTHMA study: a nationwide population-based survey” by Dinis Brito et al.
The awarded study stands out for its robust methodological approach and its significant contribution to the understanding of asthma epidemiology in Portugal. By providing updated, population-based data on asthma prevalence in Portuguese adults, Epi-Asthma delivers evidence that is highly relevant for clinical practice, public health planning, and health policy decision-making.
This recognition highlights the impact of high-quality research developed in close alignment with primary care, reinforcing the value of family medicine–driven scientific production. The award also reflects the collective effort of the research team and collaborators involved in the project.
Winning the Prémios Médicos de Família de Ouro positions Epi-Asthma as a reference project in respiratory epidemiology and confirms its role in advancing evidence-based healthcare in Portugal.
