Pediatric Allergy and Immunology Nov 05, 2020
Juber NF, Lee CC, Pan WC, et al. - This study was sought to assess the relationships between pediatric asthma and several adult non‐communicable diseases (NCDs), with temporality and long interval times between asthma and NCD diagnoses. Researchers applied RAND Indonesian Family Life Survey Fifth Wave fielded in 2014‐2015, to study if being diagnosed with pediatric asthma at 0‐19 years of age was correlated with elevated risks of hypertension, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, stomach diseases, kidney diseases, and heart diseases or stroke diagnosed in adulthood. The weighted Poisson regression adjusting for age, sex, urbanicity, and insurance status was applied to calculate risk ratios. They conducted subgroup analyses by gender and age of asthma and other NCD diagnoses. The data imply that pediatric asthma is correlated with elevated risks of several adult NCDs, and these relationships may vary by gender and age of asthma and other NCD diagnoses.
