“…Like other studies, we also reported a high rate of exercise‐induced wheeze and dry night cough in the last 12 months. The prevalence of dry night cough is similar to the one assessed in Argentina and the UK, and is one of the highest reported in African children (3, 15). Regarding the severity of asthma (impairment of the speech), our result is similar to that reported in Brazil (4.6%).…”

“…Our results are similar to those reported in Kenya – 21.2% and 10.2%, respectively (13). High prevalence of current asthma had also been observed in other African countries: 10.7% in Nigeria (14), 15.6% in Ivory Coast (15) and 16.1% in Cape Town, South Africa (2). A study in Reunion Island reported that asthma and allied diseases are less frequent and less severe in metropolitan France than in Reunion Island (16).…”

“…This is supported by the higher prevalence of wheezing from written question compared to the video in 90 of the 99 centres [11]. In the Ivory Coast the prevalence of asthma decreased to 3.34% when the video questionnaire was used [15]. In France, the degree of concordance between written and video questions measured by the kappa coefficient was low.…”

Background. The International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) video questionnaire was developed to overcome the language and cultural differences in the assessment of asthma-like symptoms. Methods. 27 schools were included in the Maputo Asthma and Allergies in childhood Study (MAPAAS) using ISAAC methods, and a video questionnaire (VQ) was administered to 1614 adolescents 13-14 years old of 20 schools located in urban, suburban and semi-rural areas of Maputo (Mozambique). Simultaneously, they also replied to the ISAAC written questionnaire (WQ). Results. According to the video questionnaire, the prevalence of current asthma was 11.9% (compared with 13.3% using the written questionnaire). Wheezing after exercise in the last year was reported by about 21%. Females reported more frequent wheezing after exercise than males (p<.001). The prevalence of nocturnal cough in the last year was 24.7%, and was more frequent in the suburban area (p<.001). “Severe attacks of asthma” was reported by 11.9% of the individuals. Teenagers instructed in the suburban schools reported more severe asthma-like symptoms than others (p<.05). There was a poor correlation between the WQ and the AVQ3.0 (kappa coefficients varied from 0.09 to 0.24). The lowest agreement was observed for the question regarding severe attacks of asthma. Agreement was better in terms of specificity than in terms of sensitivity. Conclusions. In spite of the poor agreement between the written and the video questionnaires, the prevalence of asthma symptoms estimated using the video questionnaire confirms that asthma is an important public health problem in Maputo.
