Respiratory conditions, including asthma, and height in primary school
The National Study of Health and Growth (NSHG) of primary school children has examined the relationships between height and each of six separate respiratory conditions, one of which was asthma, in children aged 5-11 years, allowing for a number of genetic and environmental confounding factors, in particular for parental height. The relationships were investigated in a 'representative' sample of 4974 Caucasian English children in 1984 and in an 'e…
Passive smoking and respiratory conditions in primary school children
The effect of passive smoking on respiratory symptoms of children aged 5 to 11 years was investigated in over 4000 English children and nearly 800 Scottish children participating in the National Study of Health and Growth in 1982. After adjusting for associations of respiratory symptoms with age, sex, and a number of potentially confounding variables, significant associations were found of wheeze, both occasional and persistent, day or night coug…
A cross-cultural comparison of health status values
The extent to which the values attached to health states are similar in different cultures or social groups is important for understanding health and illness behaviors and for developing standardized health status measures. A cross-cultural study was conducted to compare the health status values obtained in a United States population (Seattle, Washington) with those from another English-speaking culture (London, England) on the Sickness Impact Pr…
