The relationship between a history of respiratory infections (and associated variables) in children and lung function in later life was examined in a study among 228 children aged 7 to 11 years. In a multiple regression analysis only a few variables showed marked and consistent effects on lung function. Respiratory tract infections showed increasing impairment of lung function with repeated infections, but the impairment was smaller than that caused by current asthma.
在一项针对228名7至11岁儿童的研究中,探讨了儿童时期呼吸道感染史(及相关变量)与成年后肺功能之间的关系。在多元回归分析中,只有少数变量对肺功能显示出显著且一致的影响。呼吸道感染显示随着感染次数增多,肺功能损害加剧,但这种损害小于当前哮喘所造成的损害。
