Sociodemographic factors, current asthma and lung function in an urban child population.
We aimed to assess which sociodemographic factors are associated with current asthma and indicators of lung function in 10-year-old children. ⋯ Among 10-year-old children, ethnic background was associated with current asthma and lung function after adjusting for a wide range of sociodemographic factors. No associations were found between socioeconomic status indicators and current asthma. Explanations for these associations such as language barriers, suboptimal care or pathophysiological differences require further investigation.
