Some studies report an increase in asthma and asthma symptoms among adolescents, e.g., in northeast England [9] and northwestern, coastal Croatia [7]. A recent Swedish study comparing two populationbased cohorts of 7e8 year olds reports an increased prevalence of current wheeze and physician diagnosed asthma in boys and a decreasing tendency in girls [10].…”

Dennoch sind steigende Prävalenzen heutzutage vor allem in ehemaligen "Niedrigprävalenzge-bieten" auszumachen, wie neuere Studien aus beispielsweise dem osteuropäischen Raum zeigen [25,26]. Die Daten von KiGGS Welle 1 zeigen, dass mehr kleine Kinder bis 6 Jahre von Asthma bronchiale und Heuschnupfen betroffen sind, als dies noch Eltern von 0-bis 6-Jährigen in der KiGGS-Basiserhebung berichteten [11].…”
