Using the international study of asthma and allergies in childhood (ISAAC) questionnaire, 3000 children aged 6-7 years from various schools in the north east of England were studied. In this population, the lifetime prevalence rates of various symptoms and diagnoses were: wheezing, 29.6%; atopic eczema, 27.8%; rhinitis, 23. 1%; and self reported asthma, 22.7%. Rhinitis was reported by 44% and 40% of boys and girls with asthma, respectively. Atopic eczema was reported by 46% of both boys and girls with asthma. The prevalence rates of reported asthma, and of symptoms suggestive of asthma, were higher than those reported from studies conducted on UK children in 1992.
利用儿童哮喘和过敏国际研究（ISAAC）问卷，对来自英格兰东北部各学校的3000名6至7岁儿童进行了研究。在这个群体中，各种症状和诊断的终生患病率分别为：喘息，29.6%；特应性湿疹，27.8%；鼻炎，23.1%；自我报告的哮喘，22.7%。患有哮喘的男孩和女孩中分别有44%和40%报告有鼻炎。患有哮喘的男孩和女孩中均有46%报告有特应性湿疹。报告的哮喘患病率以及提示哮喘的症状患病率高于1992年对英国儿童进行的研究所报告的患病率。
