许多因素与儿童哮喘的发展有关。本研究的目的是在挪威韦斯特福尔县的4 - 5岁儿童队列中确定儿童哮喘的患病率，并探讨与儿童哮喘相关的社会经济背景因素。除了“孩子目前或曾经患有哮喘吗？在2，430名家长中，有1，913名（79%）作出回应。在163名（累积患病率8.7%）确诊哮喘的儿童中，19名儿童没有使用任何药物，被认为已经长大，不再患有哮喘。在Logistic回归分析中，几个背景因素与哮喘显著相关：家中房间少，心理社会问题，过去一年中发烧超过三次，花粉热，对食物的反应和母亲或父亲患有慢性疾病。
A number of factors are associated with the development of childhood asthma. The purpose of this study was to establish the prevalence of childhood asthma and to explore the socioeconomic background factors associated with childhood asthma in a Norwegian cohort of children aged 4-5 yrs.A questionnaire was given to parents in connection with the ordinary child control of 4-5-yr-old children in Vestfold county, Norway. In addition to the question "Has the child at present or ever had asthma?", a number of medical and socioeconomical background factors were registered.Of the 2,430 parents, 1,913 (79%) responded. Of the 163 (cumulative prevalence 8.7%) children with confirmed asthma, 19 did not use any medication and were regarded as having outgrown their asthma. Several background factors were significantly associated with asthma in a logistic regression analysis: few rooms at home, psychosocial problems, fever more than three times during the last year, hay fever, reaction to food and mother or father with chronic disease.The findings indicate that socioeconomic background factors are associated with asthma in childhood, in addition to other known risk factors.
