[factors aggravating bronchial asthma in urban children (i)--the involvement of indoor air pollution].	the aggravation of bronchial asthma in today's urban child population was studied by an epidemiological study in order to elucidate the involvement of indoor air pollution in relation to housing style. the asthma group consisted of 210 children under 12 years old who had been recently diagnosed as having bronchial asthma and under the care of osaka prefectural habikino hospital. the non-asthma group consisted of 180 children under 12 years old who had been under care at osaka prefectural hospita ...	1998	9739594
[factors aggravating bronchial asthma in urban children (ii)--the involvement of atopy and serum fatty acids, and their interaction with urban living environment].	the aggravation of bronchial asthma in today's urban child population was studied by an epidemiological study in order to elucidate the involvement of food habits as well as individual factors such as age, sex, and history of atopic dermatitis, and the interaction with urban living environments. the asthma group consisted of 202 children under 12 years old who had been recently diagnosed as having bronchial asthma and under the care of osaka prefectural habikino hospital. the non-asthma group co ...	1998	9739595
[latent factors aggravating airway allergic symptom in urban population: the involvement of urban living environments].	the involvement of urban living environments in ige-increase (atopy) and ecp-increase (enhanced eosinophil activity), the inter-relationship of ige-increase and ecp-increase, and their involvement in developing airway allergic symptoms were studied on a population of adult nonsmoking women, in order to elucidate the latent factors aggravating airway allergic symptoms in an urban population. in our earlier study on child asthma in 1994, we examined the relationship between living environments and ...	1999	10388144
involvement of urban living environments in atopy and enhanced eosinophil activity: potential risk factors of airway allergic symptoms.	airway allergic diseases, such as bronchial asthma and allergic rhinitis, have increased, especially in urban areas. these diseases are characterized by airway inflammation with enhanced eosinophil activity, and the risk of disease development has been shown to increase with the prevalence of atopy.	2001	11251402
