Abstract

Background: The increasing prevalence of asthma necessitates consideration of modifiable asthma risk factors, such as sedentary lifestyle, overweight/obesity, and environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between asthma symptoms and the risk factors in young adolescents.

Methods: This cross-sectional study, as part of the Global Asthma Network (GAN) Phase I project, used standardized questionnaires based on ISAAC (International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood) Phase I and Phase III questionnaires. In Gjilan, Kosovo, self-reported data from 1200 school children aged 13-14 years were collected.

Results: Overweight (BMI [body mass index] > 25 kg/m2) had a statistically significant association with asthma symptoms (p < 0.05), particularly with disturbed sleep due to wheezing (OR [odds ratio] = 3.93 [95% CI [confidence interval]: 1.27-12.12]) and the reported wheezing by females during or after exercise. Sedentary lifestyle (≥ 3 hours/day on a computer/television) was found to be associated with wheezing (OR = 1.89 [95% CI: 1.34-2.66]) and the diagnosis of asthma. ETS exposure was significantly associated with wheezing during or after exercise (OR = 1.67 [95% CI: 1.15-2.42]) and coughing at night (OR = 1.67 [95% CI: 1.19-2.33]).

Conclusion: The findings support the importance of sedentary lifestyle, obesity, and ETS exposure as asthma risk factors in young adolescents experiencing asthma symptoms. Future public health interventions should take these modifiable risk factors into account, especially in urban locations, in order to alleviate asthma morbidity.

目前的生活方式和哮喘风险:久坐不动的生活方式、肥胖和ETS。
背景:哮喘患病率的增加需要考虑可改变的哮喘危险因素,如久坐的生活方式、超重/肥胖和环境烟草烟雾(ETS)暴露。本研究的目的是分析青少年哮喘症状与危险因素的关系。方法:作为全球哮喘网络(GAN)一期项目的一部分,这项横断面研究使用了基于ISAAC(国际儿童哮喘和过敏研究)一期和III期问卷的标准化问卷。在科索沃吉兰,收集了1200名13-14岁学龄儿童的自我报告数据。结果:体重超重(BMI[体重指数]> 25 kg/m2)与哮喘症状有统计学意义的相关性(p < 0.05),尤其是女性在运动期间或运动后因喘息引起的睡眠障碍(OR[比值比]= 3.93 [95% CI[置信区间]:1.27-12.12])和报告的喘息。久坐不动的生活方式(每天使用电脑/电视≥3小时)与喘息(OR = 1.89 [95% CI: 1.34-2.66])和哮喘的诊断相关。ETS暴露与运动期间或运动后的喘息(or = 1.67 [95% CI: 1.15-2.42])和夜间咳嗽(or = 1.67 [95% CI: 1.19-2.33])显著相关。结论:研究结果支持久坐的生活方式、肥胖和ETS暴露在经历哮喘症状的青少年中作为哮喘危险因素的重要性。未来的公共卫生干预措施应考虑到这些可改变的风险因素,特别是在城市地区,以减轻哮喘发病率。

期刊介绍: Founded in 1972 by Professor A. Oehling, Allergologia et Immunopathologia is a forum for those working in the field of pediatric asthma, allergy and immunology. Manuscripts related to clinical, epidemiological and experimental allergy and immunopathology related to childhood will be considered for publication. Allergologia et Immunopathologia is the official journal of the Spanish Society of Pediatric Allergy and Clinical Immunology (SEICAP) and also of the Latin American Society of Immunodeficiencies (LASID). It has and independent international Editorial Committee which submits received papers for peer-reviewing by international experts. The journal accepts original and review articles from all over the world, together with consensus statements from the aforementioned societies. Occasionally, the opinion of an expert on a burning topic is published in the "Point of View" section. Letters to the Editor on previously published papers are welcomed. Allergologia et Immunopathologia publishes 6 issues per year and is included in the major databases such as Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Knowledge, etc.
