Allergic disease increase risk of adult-onset asthma

Allergies are one of the most common chronic disease which can increase the risk of asthma in an individual if serving severely , found researchers.

The number of allergic diseases increases the risk of adult-onset asthma especially in individuals born after 1940, according to a study.


Approximately one in ten Finns suffer from asthma. It is one of the most common chronic illnesses in Western countries.


Allergy is a risk factor in childhood asthma bit its significance to adult-onset asthma is not precisely known.


A collaborative population-based study of the the universities of Helsinki and Tampere interviewed 1,205 recently diagnosed asthmatics and 2,050 matched controls.


The subjects were between 31 and 71 years of age. They were questioned about the occurrence of allergic rhinitis and conjunctivitis as well as atopic dermatitis.


Individuals with asthma had significantly more symptoms of allergic diseases than those in the control group. The number of allergic diseases was an independent risk factor for adult-onset asthma.
One allergic disease approximately doubled the asthma risk. Correspondingly, 2 disease tripled and 3 disease quadrupled the asthma risk.


At least one allergic disease resulted in a 3.5 fold risk of adult-onset asthma in the under-50s age group, while for 50-62 year old the risk was 2.4 fold and in over 62 year olds only 1.7 fold.


The link between allergic diseases and asthma has strengthened in our population born after 1940. The cause for this phenomenon may be the radical decrease of microbial diversity in our living environment, said a researcher.


The research result may also be partly due to asthma with an onset later in life being less associated with allergy. Discovering precise mechanisms is challenging since data relating to the early living environment of the adult population is incomplete.


According to another recent Finnish study, adult-onset asthma is more likely among women and family background is a major risk factor, said one of the researchers of the study.
