dc.description.abstractThe aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of wheezing and evaluate the risk factors for its persistence in children. Survey data was collected on 725 children aged 17 years or below. The mean age was 8.94 ± 5.16 years; 22.1% of them were reported to have had a wheezing episode at any point in their lives. A wheezing episode was reported in 18.1% of children 3 years of age or younger and persisted in 51% of these subjects; 69.6% of ever wheezers had late onset wheezing. Persistence was significantly common in males. Perinatal disease, lack of breast feeding, and low income were significant risk factors for persistence. In summary, breast feeding, perinatal disease, and income status may be significant risk factors influencing wheezing peristence and consequent asthma. Copyright © 2007 Informa Healthcare.
