Article Synopsis
- Limited data on allergic diseases in high-altitude urban areas of Latin America led to a study in Cuenca, Ecuador, focusing on preschool children aged 3-5 years.
- The study found that 18% suffered from asthma, 48% from rhinitis, and 28% from eczema, with atopy present in 33% of the children, and various risk factors associated with these conditions.
- Key findings indicated that parental history of allergies significantly increased risks for conditions like asthma and eczema, while attending daycare appeared to lower the risk of rhinitis.
