儿童哮喘的患病率在世界范围内不断增加，包括在泰国等发展中国家。尽管泰国儿童哮喘的流行病学数据广泛可用。成人哮喘的患病率在该社区尚未得到很好的研究。本研究的目的是研究哮喘，过敏性鼻炎和湿疹的患病率在曼谷随机组的大学生使用标准化的书面和视频问卷从ISAAC第一阶段协议。ISAAC第一阶段，书面和视频（国际版，AVQ 3.0）的问卷调查，3631随机选择的大学生从曼谷的六所大学。受试者的年龄范围为16-31岁（平均值+/- SD = 19.1 +/- 1.7岁）。男性1197例，女性2434例（比例= 1：2.03）。将数据输入Epi Info 4程序并进行分析。该组受试者在过去12个月内喘息和诊断为哮喘的患病率分别为10.1%和8.8%。过敏性鼻炎（过去12个月内鼻眼症状）的患病率为26.3%，湿疹（过去12个月内特应性皮炎典型部位的皮疹）的患病率为9.4%。有无鼻结膜炎、性别和年龄是哮喘的重要危险因素，男性、年轻受试者和有鼻结膜炎的受试者报告更频繁的哮喘相关症状（P
Prevalence of childhood asthma is increasing worldwide including in developing countries such as Thailand. Despite a wide availability of epidemiological data on childhood asthma in Thailand. prevalence of asthma in adults has not been well studied within this community. Objectives of this study were to study prevalence of asthma, allergic rhinitis and eczema in a random group of university students in Bangkok using the standardized written and video questionnaires from the ISAAC phase I protocol. The ISAAC phase I, written and video (international version, AVQ 3.0) questionnaires were administered to 3631 randomly selected university students from six universities in Bangkok. The age range of subjects were between 16-31 years (mean +/- SD = 19.1 +/- 1.7 years). There were 1197 males and 2434 females (ratio = 1:2.03). Data were entered into and analysed by the Epi Info 4 program. Prevalence of wheeze within the past 12 months and of diagnosed asthma for this group of subjects was 10.1% and 8.8%. Prevalence of allergic rhinitis (nasal with eye symptoms within the past 12 months) was 26.3% and of eczema (rash at typical sites of atopic dermatitis, within the past 12 months) was 9.4%. Presence of rhinoconjunctivitis, gender and age were significant risk factors for asthma with male, younger subjects and those with rhinoconjunctivitis reported more frequent asthma-related symptoms (P
