Six studies have been carried out in France and French Polynesia to investigate the prevalence of asthma in adolescents attending secondary school and in Paris university students (68,179 subjects overall). All the studies used the same questionnaire, self-administered in the classroom, and interviews administered to students during the university's preventive medicine examination. An epidemiologic definition of asthma was considered an affirmative answer to the question, "Have you ever had attacks of asthma?" The prevalence of asthma ranged from 4 to 12 percent, most often higher in boys with a tendency to increase with age. The relationship between asthma and other allergic respiratory conditions was studied. Some recommendations are made here to improve the validity of data and to increase knowledge about the etiology of asthma.
在法国和法属波利尼西亚开展了六项研究，以调查中学生和巴黎大学生（总共68179名受试者）中的哮喘患病率。所有研究都使用相同的问卷，在课堂上自行填写，并在大学预防医学检查期间对学生进行访谈。哮喘的流行病学定义为对“你是否曾患过哮喘发作？”这一问题的肯定回答。哮喘患病率在4%至12%之间，男孩患病率通常更高，且有随年龄增长而上升的趋势。研究了哮喘与其他过敏性呼吸道疾病之间的关系。此处提出了一些建议，以提高数据的有效性并增加对哮喘病因的了解。
