Asthma, a serious health problem worldwide, is growing more common. The colonization of Helicobacter pylori, a major human indigenous (commensal) microbe that is present early in life may be relevant to childhood asthma risk. We conducted cross-sectional analyses using data from 7,412 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Survey (NHANES) 1999–2000 to assess the association between H. pylori and childhood asthma. H. pylori seropositivity was inversely associated with early-onset asthma (onset age < 5 years) and current asthma in children 3–13 years. Among participants 3–19 years of age, the presence of H. pylori was inversely related to ever having asthma (OR = 0.69; 95% CI = 0.45–1.06), and the inverse association with early childhood-onset (<age 5) asthma was stronger (OR = 0.58; 95% CI = 0.38–0.88). Among participants 3–13 years of age, H. pylori was significantly inversely associated with current status of asthma (OR = 0.41; 95% CI = 0.24–0.69). H. pylori also was inversely related to having recently had wheezing, allergic rhinitis, and dermatitis, eczema, or rash. This study is the first to report an inverse association of H. pylori with asthma in children. The findings indicate new directions for research and asthma prevention.
