Determinants of asthma in a farming population.

Scandinavian journal of work, environment & health - 1 Aug 1998

Melbostad E, Eduard W, Magnus P

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: This study examined the determinants of asthma in a population of farmers, including as a crude indicator of genetic predisposition "history of asthma in next-of-kin" (family history), and exposure factors such as animal production and smoking. METHODS: In a cross-sectional study of 8...
