Abstract

Introduction: The first step in planning for every disease control program is a precise epidemiologic study. This study was conducted to elucidate the prevalence of ASTHMA and its related symptoms (rhinitis, CONJUNCTIVITIS and eczema) in 6-7 and 13-14 years old CHILDREN of Tehran during the years 2000-2001, as the third phase of the International study of ASTHMA and Allergies in childhood (ISAAC).Methods: This descriptive questionnaire-based study was performed on a total of 6127 students from 72 schools in Tehran Province selected by simple random sampling out of a total of 12 clusters of 22 municipality regions. All of the first-graders, as well as students from 7-8 grades were enrolled in the study.Results: A total of 6140 students consisting of 3015 6-7-year-old and 3125 13-14-year-old students were included in the study. Results showed that 11.4% of 6-7-year-old and 33.7% of 13-14-year-old students had positive symptoms of RHINITIS including sneeze, rhinorrhea and nasal congestion, 8.9% and 25.1% of which had recently become symptomatic. CONJUNCTIVITIS symptoms were reported by 22% of 6-7-years-old and.13.5% of 13-14-year-old students within 12 months. Incidence of symptoms was highest during January through March and lowest during July through September. Severity of symptoms in 5.6% of 6-7-year-old and 15.5% of 13-14-year-old students had resulted in limitation of physical activity.Discussion: Prevalence of allergic RHINITIS symptoms was much higher in the 13-14 year-old group of students, a result that has not changed dramatically since the first phase of the study. Further studies are warranted to identify the cause (s) of such a high prevalence.
