Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the prevalence of allergic disease symptoms in 11-15 year old schoolchildren and identify associated risk factors for asthma, rhinitis, and eczema.
- A total of 481 students participated, revealing that rhinitis was the most common symptom (43.6%), followed by asthma (15.7%) and eczema (8.1%).
- Key findings included that female gender and family history of allergies significantly increased the risk for rhinitis, while maternal smoking and family history raised the likelihood of asthma and rhinitis, especially highlighting that those with a familial allergy had a 400% higher chance of developing both conditions.
