Few data on regional variations in asthma prevalence are available in France.
The study was carried out during the academic year 2005-2006 in a random sample of around 20,000 children in the last year of nursery school. The lifetime prevalence of asthma and the preceding year prevalences of asthma-like symptoms and treatment for wheezing or asthma attacks were estimated by region.
Overall, the lifetime prevalence of asthma was 9.8 % and the past-year prevalence of wheezing was 10.7 %. An increasing trend in prevalence was observed from Eastern to Western France and in overseas territories. The regional variations in past-year prevalence of wheezing remained when adjusting for gender, family structure and the number of siblings. Among children who had wheezed or received a treatment in the past year, 42 % had experienced frequent or severe symptoms.
Large regional variations in asthma prevalence among young children in France exist.
法国有关哮喘患病率地区差异的数据较少。
该研究于2005 - 2006学年进行,随机抽取了约20000名处于幼儿园最后一年的儿童作为样本。按地区估算哮喘的终生患病率以及前一年哮喘样症状的患病率和喘息或哮喘发作的治疗情况。
总体而言,哮喘的终生患病率为9.8%,过去一年喘息的患病率为10.7%。从法国东部到西部以及海外领地,患病率呈上升趋势。在对性别、家庭结构和兄弟姐妹数量进行调整后,过去一年喘息患病率的地区差异依然存在。在过去一年有喘息或接受过治疗的儿童中,42%曾经历过频繁或严重症状。
