Abstract
Background
Risk behaviours, obesity, and neuropsychiatric comorbidity have been demonstrated in various chronic diseases but are less well described among adolescents with asthma.
Methods
We clinically assessed asthma status at the 18-year follow-up visit of the Danish Copenhagen Prospective Studies on Asthma in Childhood (COPSAC2000) birth cohort born to mothers with asthma, and we investigated risk behaviours and non-atopic comorbidities. We included obesity and neuropsychiatric diseases captured from medical records and electronic questionnaires on behavioural traits and psychopathology. Associations between asthma status, risk behaviours, and non-atopic comorbidity were analysed using logistic regression models.
Results
A total of 370 individuals (90%) completed the 18-year visit, and 93 of these (25.1%) had current asthma. Comparing adolescents with and without asthma, binge drinking was reported in 75.2% vs 66.0%, current smoking in 26.9% vs 32.9%, and drug use in 16.1% vs 26.0%. High daily screen use was reported in 25.8% vs 16.6%; 26.9% vs 17.3% reported self-destructive behaviour; 24.7% vs 14.1% had neuropsychiatric comorbidity, and 10.8% vs 6.9% had obesity. In univariate analyses, asthma was associated with self-destructive behaviour, OR = 1.84 (1.03–3.21), p = 0.035, and neuropsychiatric comorbidity, OR = 2.01 (1.11–3.56), p = 0.019. In multivariable analysis with backward selection, asthma was associated with neuropsychiatric comorbidity, OR = 2.04 (1.004–4.12), p = 0.049, a trend of increased self-destructive behaviour, OR = 1.76 (0.93–3.29), p = 0.079, and less drug use, OR = 0.59 (0.29–0.96), p = 0.045.
Conclusion
Asthma was associated with neuropsychiatric comorbidity and self-destructive behaviour, but less drug use. There were no consistent associations with other risk behaviours or obesity.
期刊介绍:
The official pubication of the World Allergy Organization, the World Allergy Organization Journal (WAOjournal) publishes original mechanistic, translational, and clinical research on the topics of allergy, asthma, anaphylaxis, and clincial immunology, as well as reviews, guidelines, and position papers that contribute to the improvement of patient care. WAOjournal publishes research on the growth of allergy prevalence within the scope of single countries, country comparisons, and practical global issues and regulations, or threats to the allergy specialty. The Journal invites the submissions of all authors interested in publishing on current global problems in allergy, asthma, anaphylaxis, and immunology. Of particular interest are the immunological consequences of climate change and the subsequent systematic transformations in food habits and their consequences for the allergy/immunology discipline.
