Abstract
We have analyzed the risk factors of child bronchial asthma by a 1:1 matched case-control study. The results showed that the family hereditary history (OR = 44.44); the history of ingesting sensitizing foods (OR = 22.52) and of allergy (OR = 7.11) in maternal pregnancy; the history of allergy in childhood (OR = 9.27) and of respiratory diseases in infancy (OR = 7.71); the personality of child (OR = 8.01), the residential environment (OR = 9.08), and so on were the risk factors of child bronchial asthma. In addition, we have found that the age of the 1st onset of child bronchial asthma was associated with the following risk factors: the history of allergy in childhood and in maternal pregnancy, the family hereditary history and the residential environment, etc. It is confirmed that the child bronchial asthma is a multifactor disease.
