Abstract

The primary objective of the study was to determine the impact of the identity of the respondent (parents versus adolescents) on prevalence estimates of asthma symptoms in Swiss adolescents. In addition, factors influencing agreement between parents' and adolescents' responses to the same questions were analysed. One thousand three hundred and seventy-four (78.4%) adolescents, aged 14 years, self-completed a questionnaire at school based on the International Study of Asthma and Allergy in Childhood (ISAAC) core questions on wheezing and asthma. The same questions were incorporated into a questionnaire to be completed by the parents at home. The adolescents' self-reported prevalence rates of current asthma symptoms and "asthma ever" were significantly higher than those obtained from the parental questionnaires. 856 (62.6%) parental questionnaires were filled in by parents without the help of the adolescents, 460 (37.4%) were completed by parents and adolescents and 51 (3.7%) were completed by the adolescents without the parents. Prevalence rates were higher when parents and adolescents completed the questionnaire jointly than when questionnaires were completed by parents alone. The level of agreement between parental and self-co...Continue Reading

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
