TL;DR
Evaluating patients being followed-up with a diagnosis of bronchial asthma at the Allergy Clinic for risk factors and to determine their sociodemographic characteristics found asthma seems to be an important health problem in this country.
Abstract
Asthma seems to be an important health problem in our country. Recognizing the risk factors is important for the diagnosis and prevention of the disease.

BMJExposure to foodborne and orofecal microbes versus airborne viruses in relation to atopy and allergic asthma: epidemiological study
700 Citations2000Paolo Maria Matricardi
Respiratory allergy is less frequent in people heavily exposed to orofecal and foodborne microbes andgiene and a westernised, semisterile diet may facilitate atopy by influencing the overall pattern of commensals and pathogens that stimulate the gut associated lymphoid tissue thus contributing to the epidemic of allergic asthma and rhinitis in developed countries.

Measles infection may prevent the development of atopy in African children, and is associated with a large reduction in the risk of skin-prick test positivity to housedust mite after adjustment for breastfeeding and other variables.
BMJAssociation between breast feeding and asthma in 6 year old children: findings of a prospective birth cohort study
513 Citations1999Wendy H. Oddy, Patrick G. Holt +6 more
Examining the association between the duration of exclusive breast feeding and the development of asthma related outcomes in children at age 6 years suggests public health interventions to optimise breast feeding may help to reduce the community burden of childhood asthma and its associated traits.

384 Citations1999R. Michael Sly
Increases in prevalence remain unexplained, but avoidance of recognized allergens should reduce the prevalence of allergic rhinitis and asthma.

Family history of atopy remains the most important risk factor for atopy in children, but other markers can be identified with a potential for intervention at an early age.

Genetic and environmental factors have a profound effect on the development of allergic disorders in the first two years of life in children in a prospective follow‐up study.

246 Citations1999Cecilie Svanes, Deborah Jarvis +2 more
Subjects from large families with brothers, shared bedrooms, and dogs in childhood were less often atopic as adults, consistent with the hypothesis that infectious agents could inhibit development of atopy during childhood.

243 Citations1998David P. Strachan, Derek G. Cook
Parental smoking, either before or immediately after birth, is unlikely to increase the risk of allergic sensitisation in children.
Journal of Allergy and Clinical ImmunologySensitization to inhaled allergens as a risk factor for asthma and allergic diseases in Chinese population
147 Citations1997Roland Leung, Pak‐Leung Ho +2 more
Sensitization to indoor allergens was a significant risk factor for asthma and allergic disease, and familial clustering of disease was common in the region, which suggests an important environmental role in disease pathogenesis.

There is likely to have been a recent increase in the prevalence of allergic disease in Saudi children associated with increased affluence, which has not affected non-Saudi migrants moving into the same environment to the same extent.

The data suggest that children with mild-to-moderate asthma are frequently symptomatic and exposed to a wide variety of environmental exposures that are perceived to trigger symptoms by means of self-report.

36 Citations2000Lyudmila N. Soldatova, Elizabeth J. Paupore +3 more
Although overall potency of the extracts, as measured by competition ELISA, was preserved at -20 degrees C and 4 degrees C, allergen-specific assays indicated loss of allergens, suggesting that the competition ELisa is insensitive to decreases in the concentrations of individual allergens.

The systematic investigation of severe drug reactions has only started in the second half of the 20th century, parallel to the increasing knowledge in immunology, and the introduction of new drugs and the emergence of new hypersensitivity reactions will remain a challenge in the future.

Different approaches including population-based and family-based methods for evaluating genotype-phenotype relationships in asthma are discussed as well as the problems that may obscure these determinations.
