“…In contrast, up-to-date immunisations (aOR=0.8, 95% CI 0.6 to 1.0) and a bathroom in the home were inversely associated with recurrent wheeze. 40 Similar findings were obtained in a study of >28 000 infants in Latin America (Brazil, Chile and Venezuela) and Europe (Spain and the Netherlands). 41 In that study, risk factors for recurrent wheeze in Latin America included a cold in the first trimester of life, daycare attendance and maternal smoking during pregnancy; factors associated with lower risk of recurrent wheeze included breast feeding >3 months (aOR=0.8, 95% CI 0.7 to 0.9) and maternal education beyond high school (aOR=0.8, 95% CI 0.7 to 0.9).…”

Consistent with the diversity of Latin America, there is profound variability in asthma burden among and within countries in this region. Regional variation in asthma prevalence is likely multifactorial and due to genetics, perinatal exposures, diet, obesity, tobacco use, indoor and outdoor pollutants, psychosocial stress, and microbial or parasitic infections. Similarly, nonuniform progress in asthma management leads to regional variability in disease morbidity. Future studies of distinct asthma phenotypes should follow up well-characterized Latin American subgroups and examine risk factors that are unique or common in Latin America (e.g. stress and violence, parasitic infections and use of biomass fuels for cooking). Because most Latin American countries share the same barriers to asthma management, concerted and multifaceted public health and research efforts are needed, including approaches to curtail tobacco use, campaigns to improve asthma treatment, broadening access to care and clinical trials of non-pharmacologic interventions (e.g. replacing biomass fuels with gas or electric stoves).

“…In comparison with other studies conducted in Brazil and using the EISL questionnaire, ours showed the highest prevalence of wheezing in the first year of life. The prevalence of wheezing in infants was found to be 43% in the city of Recife, ( 7 ) 43.2% in the city of Cuiabá, ( 8 ) 45.4% in the city of Curitiba, ( 3 ) and 46% in the city of São Paulo. ( 4 ) The prevalence rates of OW and WBS were as follows: 22,7% and 22.6%, respectively, in Curitiba ( 2 ) ; 19,4% and 26.6%, respectively, in São Paulo ( 5 ) ; 54.1% and 45,9%, respectively, in Cuiabá ( 6 ) ; and 61% and 20%, respectively, in Porto Alegre.…”

OBJECTIVE: To determine, in a sample of infants, the prevalence of and risk factors for occasional wheezing (OW) and recurrent wheezing-wheezy baby syndrome (WBS). METHODS: Parents of infants (12-15 months of age) completed the International Study of Wheezing in Infants questionnaire. RESULTS: We included 1,269 infants residing in the city of Blumenau, Brazil. Of those, 715 (56.34%) had a history of wheezing, which was more common among boys. The prevalences of OW and WBS were 27.03% (n = 343) and 29.31% (n = 372), respectively. On average, the first wheezing episode occurred at 5.55 ± 2.87 months of age. Among the 715 infants with a history of wheezing, the first episode occurred within the first six months of life in 479 (66.99%), and 372 (52.03%) had had three or more episodes. Factors associated with wheezing in general were pneumonia; oral corticosteroid use; a cold; attending daycare; having a parent with asthma or allergies; mother working outside the home; male gender; no breastfeeding; and mold. Factors associated with WBS were a cold; physician-diagnosed asthma; ER visits; corticosteroid use; pneumonia; bronchitis; dyspnea; attending daycare; bronchodilator use; having a parent with asthma; no breastfeeding; mother working outside the home; and a dog in the household. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of wheezing in the studied population was high (56.34%). The etiology was multifactorial, and the risk factors were intrinsic and extrinsic (respiratory tract infections, allergies, attending daycare, and early wheezing). The high prevalence and the intrinsic risk factors indicate the need and the opportunity for epidemiological and genetic studies in this population. In addition, mothers should be encouraged to prolong breastfeeding and to keep infants under six months of age out of daycare.

“…Included in the study were well-nourished adolescents of both sexes, aged 13 -14 years; those with cardiac and/or neurological disease were excluded. Two questionnaires were used: a questionnaire adapted from the International Study of Wheezing in Infants (EISL), consisting of objective questions translated from Spanish to Portuguese to determine the risk factors for allergic diseases, and validated in Brazil by Chong Neto et al 7 and the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) questionnaire validated by Solé et al 8 , which provided a guide to determine the presence of "active asthma", "severe asthma" and an "asthma diagnosis" according to the questionnaire responses.…”

Introduction:Asthma is a chronic disease of the airways, which is increasing its prevalence among teenagers recently. The trigger-related factors are numerous, including environmental factors, genetic, food among others.Objective: Investigate the prevalence of asthma symptoms and possible risk factors in adolescents.Methods: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive and quantitative study conducted in 104 adolescents aged between 13 to 14 years old of both sexes from four educational institutions: three private and one public. Participants answered two questionnaires: one on risk factors for allergic diseases (EISL) and the other on asthma symptoms (ISAAC asthma module).Results: 104 adolescents answered the questionnaire: 54.8% girls and 45.2% boys. Male subjects had the most active asthma (64%) than female (20%) (p = 0.01) and also had more physician-diagnosed asthma (34.4%) than girls (6.1%) (p = 0.04), more wheezing after exercise (34.4%; 12.1%) (p = 0.03). Regarding the association between the symptoms and the risk factors we observed a statistically significant relationship between the presence of wheezing and hospitalization for public schools girls (p = 0.05). Conclusion:There is a higher prevalence of asthma symptoms in males than in females unlike other studies was observed. Why this study was made?The study was developed because the prevalence of asthma symptoms are high among adolescents and over the years other risk factors have been associated with its exacerbation. What researchers have done and found?The researchers investigated possible risk factors related to the onset of asthma symptoms in adolescents and noted that male volunteers had more active asthma than volunteers, also had more asthma diagnosed and wheezing after exercise. With regard to the association between symptoms and risk factors, a statistically significant relationship was observed between the presence of wheezing and hospitalizations for girls from public schools. What the results mean?Although the female gender suffered from hormonal changes during adolescence, it was observed that asthma symptoms were more prevalent in males. It is also worth noting that the volunteers from the public school system showed an association of risk factors with hospitalization, suggesting that the socioeconomic factor may have a greater influence on the prevalence of asthma symptoms than hormonal changes.

Abstract: Independent risk factors for wheezing in the first year of life are also known risks for asthma in children and adolescents. These data are useful to predict the diagnosis of asthma and to promote its prevention (when applicable).
