Risk factors for wheezing in primary health care settings in the tropics.
CONCLUSION: Wheezing is a health care burden. We found potential new risk-factors for AW, some possibly unique for tropical climates. We suggest testing several hypotheses: could early AW be reduced in the tropics attacking mold growth? enhancing cooking place ventilation? keeping pets outside? Or by postponing day-care attendance till after four months and avoiding (passive) smoking during pregnancy?
