“…From another Brazilian study that used the ISAAC methodology in adolescents aged 13 and 14 years, a higher prevalence of asthma symptoms in females was reported. 12 Several factors are related to the association of asthma in adolescent and female individuals, including genetic factors, maternal-fetal interactions, maturation of the immune system, hormonal changes and psychosocial and environmental influences that are specific to each gender. 1 , 12 …”

OBJECTIVE To analyze the temporal trend of asthma and rhinoconjunctivitis prevalences as well as their symptoms in adolescents.METHODS Two cross-sectional studies were conducted using the same methodology and questionnaire as was used for adolescents aged 12 to 14 years in the Brazilian city of Florianopolis, SC, Southern Brazil. Based on the international protocol of the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) study, adolescents were evaluated in 2001 and 3,150 in 2012. The schools included in this study were the same as in the 2001 study. These schools were randomly selected after stratification by network (public and private) and geographic location. The total average percentage variation was estimated for the prevalence of asthma and rhinoconjunctivitis and their symptoms.RESULTS The prevalence of reported asthma was 10.9% in 2001 and 14.8% in 2012, with an average variation of 2.8% in the period. The highest average variation in the period was observed among female adolescents (4.1%). In parallel a significant increase occurred in reported physician-diagnosed asthma, 7.3% in 2001 and 11,1% in 2012, with an annual variation of 4.5%. The largest increases in reported physician-diagnosed asthma were seen in female (5.9%) and male (4.5%) public school pupils. In addition, a significant increase in reported rhinoconjunctivitis occurred, with the average variation in the period being 5.2%. Reports of severe asthma symptoms remained unchanged during the period, while the annual variation for reported current wheezing (-1.3%) and wheezing during exercise (-1.2%) decreased.CONCLUSIONS The results showed a significant increase in the annual average variation for asthma and rhinoconjunctivitis prevalence during the 2001 to 2012 period.

“…( 19 ) In two other studies conducted in Brazil, girls aged 13-14 years had more respiratory symptoms than did boys of the same age. ( 20 , 21 ) However, there are still few studies investigating the frequency of attacks, the impact of asthma, and the intensity of symptoms that affect men and women differently. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to evaluate, in a population sample of asthma patients in Brazil, the possibility of gender differences in five asthma domains: symptoms; impact of asthma on quality of life; perception of asthma control; exacerbations; and treatment/medication.…”

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of asthma, by gender, in a population sample of asthma patients in Brazil. METHODS: We conducted face-to-face interviews with 400 subjects (> 12 years of age) included in a national probability telephone sample of asthma patients in the Brazilian state capitals of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Curitiba, and Salvador. Each of those 400 subjects completed a 53-item questionnaire that addressed five asthma domains: symptoms; impact of asthma on quality of life; perception of asthma control; exacerbations; and treatment/medication. RESULTS: Of the 400 patients interviewed, 272 (68%) were female. In relation to respiratory symptoms, the proportion of women reporting extremely bothersome symptoms (cough with sputum, tightness in the chest, cough/shortness of breath/tightness in the chest during exercise, nocturnal shortness of breath, and nocturnal cough) was greater than was that of men. Daytime symptoms, such as cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, and tightness in the chest, were more common among women than among men. Women also more often reported that their asthma interfered with normal physical exertion, social activities, sleep, and life in general. Regarding the impact of asthma on quality of life, the proportion of subjects who reported that asthma caused them to feel that they had no control over their lives and affected the way that they felt about themselves was also greater among women than among men. CONCLUSIONS: Among women, asthma tends to be more symptomatic, as well as having a more pronounced effect on activities of daily living and on quality of life.

“…These results are similar to those found by the ISAAC study conducted in Montes Claros-MG (17) , with a prevalence equal to 16% and 32.9%, respectively. These data are important because nocturnal dry cough is an important manifestation of asthma, particularly in the absence of respiratory tract infection (5) and exercise-induced asthma could remain as the only manifestation of the disease in this age group, not always recognized by guardians and teachers (18) . It is noteworthy that nocturnal dry cough may be a manifestation of gastroesophageal reflux (19) and, thus, overestimate the positive prevalence for this question.…”

Objectives: To assess the prevalence of asthma symptoms among schoolchildren aged six to seven years in the municipality of Picos-PI; and to identify risk factors associated with the disease. Methods: A cross-sectional study with children aged six and seven from Picos, in November 2010 and May 2011. To collect data, we used an adapted form of the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood. Data were analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistics. Results: Among the 234 children in the study sample, 56% were female. The prevalence of the medical diagnosis of asthma was 7.7%. The following risk factors presented a statistically significant relationship with the occurrence of asthma (p <0.05): wheezing after physical exercise, dry cough at night without having a cold, bronchitis, and having parents with asthma. Conclusion: We observed an underdiagnosis of asthma; there is a necessity for further work to be conducted with a larger sample, to examine more broadly the situation of asthma in children in the municipality of Picos -PI. Keywords: Asthma; Risk factors; Symptoms; Child; Pediatric nursing RESUMO Objetivos: Analisar a prevalência de sintomas de asma entre escolares de seis a sete anos do município de Picos-PI; e identificar fatores de risco associados à doença. Métodos: Estudo transversal realizado com crianças de 6 e 7 anos de Picos em novembro de 2010 a maio de 2011. Para coletar os dados, foi utilizado um formulário adaptado do Internacional Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood. Os dados foram analisados com base na estatística descritiva e analítica. Resultados: Dentre as 234 crianças da amostra estudada, 56% eram do gênero feminino. A prevalência de diagnóstico médico de asma foi de 7,7%. Os seguintes fatores de risco apresentaram relação estatisticamente significante com a ocorrência de asma (p < 0,05): sibilos após a realização de exercício físico, tosse seca à noite sem estar gripado, bronquite, e ter pais asmáticos. Conclusão: Observou-se o subdiagnóstico da asma e há necessidade de que novos trabalhos sejam realizados com uma amostra maior, para analisar de modo mais amplo a situação da asma em crianças no município de Picos -PI.
