The objective was to compare the physical activity level of children with asthma with that of non-asthmatic children. A standardized written questionnaire was administered in a survey of school children in three different areas of Norway: Oslo (n = 2577), Hallingdal (n = 831) and Odda (n = 1177). Response rates were > 85% in all areas, and approximately 50% of the respondents were female. No significant differences were found between the distributions in exercise frequency either for children reported ever to have had asthma (P = 0.8) or for those with current asthma (P = 0.3) compared to non-asthmatics. Similar results were found for exercise hours a week. More than 50% of all children took part in organized sport. The data suggest that asthmatic children are as physically active as their peers.
目的是比较哮喘儿童与非哮喘儿童的身体活动水平。在挪威三个不同地区对学童进行了一项调查，采用标准化书面问卷：奥斯陆（n = 2577）、哈灵达尔（n = 831）和奥达（n = 1177）。所有地区的回复率均超过85%，约50%的受访者为女性。与非哮喘儿童相比，曾患哮喘的儿童（P = 0.8）或目前患有哮喘的儿童（P = 0.3）在运动频率分布上未发现显著差异。每周运动时长也得到了类似结果。超过50%的儿童参加了有组织的体育运动。数据表明，哮喘儿童与同龄人一样活跃。
