Lower respiratory tract infections appear to be the most important risk factor for current asthma in subarctic schoolchildren

Abstract: Aim: The aim of this study was to identify possible risk factors for current asthma revealed by two studies in Northern Norway in 1985 and 2008 and to evaluate these factors contributing to the increased prevalence of asthma over these 23 years.Methods: As part of the 'Asthma and allergy study among schoolchildren in Nordland county' we performed a case-control study (70.0% attendance) comparing 153 children with current asthma (cases) to their non-asthmatic controls.
