The prevalence of asthma and eczema in children between 3 and 10 years of age living in Hong Kong was determined by a questionnaire survey administered to the parents of 535 children in 1989. The prevalence of asthma was 6.0% (95% confidence limit (CI) 4.0-8.0%) and the prevalence of eczema 6.8% (95% CI 4.6-9.0%). Age, sex, parental smoking and breast feeding in early life did not show significant associations with asthma. However, four different measures were associated with the prevalence of asthma: the presence of eczema, high serum IgE level, high number of upper respiratory infections and a relatively high family income, with odds ratios of 7.6, 4.9, 4.5 and 2.7, respectively.
1989年，通过对535名儿童家长进行问卷调查，确定了香港3至10岁儿童哮喘和湿疹的患病率。哮喘患病率为6.0%（95%置信区间（CI）4.0 - 8.0%），湿疹患病率为6.8%（95%CI 4.6 - 9.0%）。年龄、性别、父母吸烟及早期母乳喂养与哮喘无显著关联。然而，有四项不同指标与哮喘患病率相关：湿疹的存在、高血清IgE水平、上呼吸道感染次数多及家庭收入相对较高，比值比分别为7.6、4.9、4.5和2.7。
