Abstract
Tucson CRS has shed new light on the natural history of asthma. Reduced lung function at birth due to the impact of maternal pre-natal smoking is strongly associated with wheezing below the age of three years. Personal atopy and maternal asthma are associated with persistent wheezing. Viral infections, siblings at home, early day care attendance are associated with less frequent weezing at both six and 13 years of age. (C) 2000 Editions scientifiques et medicales Elsevier SAS.
