Popis: | The outcome of asthma in 406 children, aged 8 to 12 years, was studied. Follow-up in adulthood was 86%, with a mean age of 24.7 years and a mean interval of follow-up of 14.8 years. The predictive value of gender and various childhood variables on the adult level of pulmonary function (forced expiratory volume in 1 second [FEV1]) and bronchial responsiveness in adulthood was assessed. An increase in mean percent predicted FEV1 from childhood to adulthood was found, both in subjects with (76%) and without (24%) current respiratory symptoms. The only childhood variable predictive of adult level of FEV1 was the level of percent predicted FEV1 (p |
