| Objective: Bronchial asthma is a combination of cells and cellular components involved in chronic inflammatory diseases. This inflammation can lead to recurrent episodes of coughing, wheezing, chest tightness and difficulty breathing. Bronchial asthma is a common chronic respiratory disease of children. It's great influence on child health, learning and quality of life.And the family have a huge economic burden and mental stress, and part of the persistent childhood asthma into adult asthma can become life-long illness. Through this project, to understand prevalence and risk factors of childhood asthma of Xishan and Taigang district of Taiyuan city. Find the main risk factors of asthma in children, for early diagnosis and treatment of childhood asthma and allergic diseases, reduce the suffering of children and family burden, and reduce the consumption of health resources.Methods:(1). Select Taiyuan 10,000 children aged 0～14 (at 0:00 on July 1,1996～2010 in at 11:59 on 31 June born children) to investigate the target. Xishan and the Taigang are divided into two regions and 5000, each of the 715 children age. (2). Xishan and the Taigang area, respectively, to the communities, kindergartens, primary school, secondary school screening release form. Forms completed by parents, not less than 95% recovery, full recovery as far as possible. After the recycling, inputs electronic version. (3). Screening of children with asthma in the table①～⑥positive for any item, after diagnosis by experts completed the questionnaire in asthmatic children aged 0-14. While an equal number of randomly selected the same age, same class, same sex, family of same name, no abnormal screening table children fill in the questionnaire of 0 - 14 years old non-asthmatic children table.(4). Statistical Methods:The questionnaire input Epi-info software databases, comparative statistical analysis.Results:(1) The total of 10,608 surveys, questionnaires 10,459 people, was lost 1.40%. In which 138 children with asthma, cough variant asthma in children was 31 and 15 people suspected of asthma; childhood asthma incidence was 1.32%.(2) Xishan incidence of asthma in children was 1.62%,1.05% incidence of Taigang region. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). (3) In 138 asthmatic children,94 males, the incidence rate of 1.77%; 44 women, the incidence rate was 0.85%. Female ratio was 2.14:1, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). (4) 0-14 asthmatic children aged 4 to 5 years of age to the highest incidence of 2.97%,13 to 14-year-old children with the lowest incidence of 0.43%. And 2 to 7 years of age have a higher prevalence.(5) 138 children with asthma questionnaire, respiratory tract infections and changes in the weather/cold air exposure as the main predisposing factors, were 90.6% and 52.2%. (6) children with asthma compared with non-asthmatic children, in the personal history of drug allergy, family history of allergies, have allergic rhinitis, have eczema, is used antibiotics, birth at home if renovated et al. the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusions:1.The survey of the cumulative prevalence and prevalence rate of asthma in children is slightly lower than 2000 the cumulative prevalence and prevalence rate of asthma in children in Taiyuan.2. Male children have high incidence then female children.3. Xishan region has a high incidence of asthma then Taigang area.4.0～14 years to children aged 4 to 5 the highest incidence of asthma in children.13 to 14 years was the lowest incidence.2 to 7 years of age have a higher prevalence.5. Predisposing factors for childhood asthma and respiratory infections changes in the weather/cold air-based exposure.6. In the personal history of drug allergy, family history of allergies, is allergic rhinitis, it suffered from eczema, is used antibiotics after birth is renovated home with children such as asthma may have a certain relationship.7.
