The prevalence of asthma has been studied in Tokelauan children aged 0--14 years in two environments--Tokelau and New Zealand. Only 11.0% of the 706 children examined in Tokelau were classified as asthmatic, whereas 25.3% of the 1,160 children seen in New Zealand were asthmatic. For those children examined in New Zealand there was no significant difference in the prevalence of asthma between those children who were born in New Zealand and those who were born in Tolelau.
在托克劳和新西兰这两种环境中，对706名0至14岁的托克劳儿童进行了哮喘患病率研究。在托克劳接受检查的706名儿童中，只有11.0%被归类为哮喘患者，而在新西兰接受检查的1160名儿童中，25.3%是哮喘患者。对于那些在新西兰接受检查的儿童，在新西兰出生的儿童和在托克劳出生的儿童之间，哮喘患病率没有显著差异。
