Objectives: We investigate trends in the prevalence of cigarette smoking among adults at all ages in two time points 9 years apart in two neighbouring rural populations and examine social and respiratory health determinants of quitting smoking.
Study Design: Repeated cross-sectional study.
Methods: Two cross-sectional surveys were conducted in the same rural area of lower Silesia in Poland in 2003 and 2012.
Background: We examined the associations of family size and birth order with atopy prevalence in rural Poland at two time periods.
Methods: Two cross-sectional surveys were conducted in the same villages and a small town of lower Silesia at an interval of 9 years. In 2003, 1700 (88% of eligible individuals), and in 2012, 1730 (86%) inhabitants aged 5 years or more completed a questionnaire and had a skin prick test for atopy.

Objective: We sought to assess whether rapid changes in farming practices, driven by accession to the European Union in 2004, were accompanied by an increase in atopy, asthma, and hay fever in these villages.
