Objective
Atopy, and one of its common sequels, asthma, is increasing to an alarming extent particularly in developing countries. Genetic, environmental, infectious, dietary, occupational and sociological factors are all in various ways implicated. This proposal concentrates on children living in five countries in Europe, northern and Mediterranean, to determine how a variety of quantifiable environmental factors, including nitrogen dioxide, tobacco smoke and dominant allergens interact with common childhood infections and dietary patterns in leading to atop and asthma. The project will be undertaken as a concerted action at seven sites in five Community States in urban and rural environments to take account of a variety of environmental and socio-economic factors. The aim is to derive more confident and intelligence based strategies of primary prevention.
