“…In a population-based cohort study of 1,650 white children recruited in 1990 at the age of 0-5 yrs in Leicestershire, UK [14][15][16][17][18][19], parents completed postal questionnaires on respiratory symptoms, exposures and sociodemographic characteristics in 1990, 1998 and 2003. Between 1992 and 1994, a nested sample of 795 children was invited for physiological measurements and interviews [16,17], including 222 children with parentreported wheeze and 226 children with chronic cough (cough occurring apart from colds) in 1990, and a random sample of 347 previously asymptomatic children.…”

Current wheeze was then assessed with a validated question: ''wheezing or whistling in the chest in the last 12 months?''…”
