ABSTRACT

Estimar a prevalência de asma ativa e identificar possíveis fatores de risco associados em adolescentes de 13 a 14 anos, residentes na cidade de Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, Brasil. Estudo transversal de base populacional sendo posteriormente aninhado a estudo caso-controle, realizado em 2008, utilizando o protocolo do International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC). A análise dos possíveis fatores de risco foi realizada pelo teste do qui-quadrado, teste exato de Fisher e por regressão binária logística. As variáveis com p < 0,20 na análise bivariada entraram no modelo de regressão logística, permanecendo no modelo final seis variáveis (p < 0,05). A prevalência de asma ativa foi de 19,1%. Os fatores de risco para asma ativa (p = 0,01) foram: tabagismo na gestação, seio materno exclusivo < 6 meses, renda familiar < 3 salários mínimos, sexo feminino, animais em casa no presente e ausência de peixe na dieta. A prevalência de asma ativa foi alta com redução significante à encontrada em 1998.


The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of active asthma and identify associated risk factors in adolescents 13 to 14 years of age in Cuiabá, Mato Grosso State, Brazil. A cross-sectional population-based and a subsequently a nested case-control study was conducted in 2008 using the protocol of the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC). Risk factor analysis used the chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, and binary logistic regression. Variables with p < 0.20 in the bivariate analysis entered the logistic regression model, with six variables remaining in the final model (p < 0.05). Prevalence of active asthma was 19.1%. Risk factors for active asthma (p = 0.01) were: smoking during pregnancy, exclusive breastfeeding < 6 months, family income < 3 minimum wages, female gender, pets currently in the home, and absence of fish in the diet. Prevalence of active asthma was high, but with a significant reduction compared to 1998.
