Abstract
Despite the abundance of researches relating children and asthma, the racial/ethnic influence on asthma threat have not been fully explained. The aim was to conduct a consistent and new study on a large-scale nationally representative data, including a minority group that has been usually eliminated from racial/ethnic literature. The 2011-2012 National Survey of Children Health (NSCH) dataset was utilised. Asthma was more prevalent among African-American children (22.9%) more than white American children 13.1% (p ≤ .0001). Analysis of the multivariate model revealed a greater risk of asthma for the black African American children comparatively to white American children (adjusted OR 0.522, 95% CI 0.459-0.595). Our findings indicated that childhood asthma was associated with racial/ethnic status, especially with children with low income level.
尽管有大量关于儿童和哮喘的研究，但种族/民族对哮喘威胁的影响尚未得到充分解释。其目的是对具有全国代表性的大规模数据进行一致的新研究，其中包括通常从种族/民族文献中被排除的少数群体。使用2011-2012年全国儿童健康调查(NSCH)数据集。非裔美国儿童哮喘患病率(22.9%)高于美国白人儿童(13.1%)(p≤0.0001)。多变量模型分析显示，与美国白人儿童相比，非洲裔黑人儿童患哮喘的风险更高(调整OR 0.522, 95% CI 0.459-0.595)。我们的研究结果表明，儿童哮喘与种族/民族状况有关，特别是与低收入儿童有关。
