Abstract

The objective of this study was to examine the association between parental education and the occurrence of asthma, allergic rhinitis, and eczema in children, while accounting for potential confounding factors. Data were collected through questionnaires completed by 379 children aged 10 to 12. Maternal, paternal, and combined parental educational levels were assessed. Logistic regression models were used to evaluate associations with the odds of atopic diseases, adjusting for confounders. High parental educational level was significantly associated with a lower occurrence of allergic rhinitis in children (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 0.52, 95% CI: 0.27-0.99, P = .048), particularly when mothers had high, and fathers had low educational levels (aOR = 0.30, 95% CI: 0.13-0.71, P = .006). In addition, children with highly educated fathers were less likely to develop eczema (aOR = 0.56, 95% CI: 0.33-0.93, P = .028). These findings suggest that parental education influences atopic diseases in children, reflecting the complex role of social determinants of health.

父母教育对10 ~ 12岁儿童特应性疾病的影响：一项横断面研究

本研究的目的是探讨父母教育与儿童哮喘、过敏性鼻炎和湿疹发生之间的关系，同时考虑潜在的混杂因素。数据通过379名10至12岁的儿童完成的问卷收集。评估了母亲、父亲和父母共同的教育水平。使用逻辑回归模型评估与特应性疾病几率的关联，并对混杂因素进行调整。父母受教育程度高与儿童变应性鼻炎发生率低显著相关（校正优势比[aOR] = 0.52, 95% CI: 0.27-0.99, P = 0.048），特别是当母亲受教育程度高而父亲受教育程度低时（aOR = 0.30, 95% CI: 0.13-0.71, P = 0.006）。此外，父亲受教育程度高的孩子患湿疹的可能性更小（aOR = 0.56, 95% CI: 0.33-0.93, P = 0.028）。这些发现表明，父母教育影响儿童的特应性疾病，反映了健康的社会决定因素的复杂作用。
