RESUMO
Purpose@#This study aimed to identify latent classes of behavioral problem trajectories in children with allergic diseases and investigate their predictors. @*Methods@#This study used data from the 5th to 7th Panel Study of Korean Children. The participants included 840 children aged 4~6 years with allergic diseases. Statistical analyses were conducted using latent class growth analysis and multinomial logistic regression. @*Results@#The trajectories of both internalizing and externalizing behavioral problems in children with allergic diseases were classified into five groups, that is deteriorative, recovering, changing 1 (decreasing-increasing), changing 2 (increasing-decreasing), and low state persistent group. For the internalizing behavioral problems, predictors were temperament, father’s education, family interaction, and disconnection in peer interaction. For the externalizing behavioral problems, predictors child’s gender, temperament, marital conflict, parenting stress, family interaction, and parenting environment. @*Conclusion@#Deteriorative group has high-risk behavioral problems in children with allergic diseases. We suggest to provide interventions considering latent problem trajectories based on ecological environments for allergic children.

RESUMO
PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the association between indoor environmental exposures and behavioral problems in children with allergic diseases.METHODS: We used data from 2015 Panel Study of Korean Children (PSKC). The subjects of this study included 825 children aged 7 years with asthma, allergic rhinitis, or atopic dermatitis. The data was analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression.RESULTS: Factors influencing behavioral problems in children with allergic diseases were passive smoking (β=.15, p < .001), painting from 1year after birth until 1 year ago (β=.13, p < .001), using of linoleum as floor materials (β=.09, p < .001), change of wallpaper From 2 years before pregnancy until 1year after birth (β=.08, p < .001), change of wallpaper from 1year after birth until 1 year ago (β=.07, p < .001), keeping hot food or water in plastic container (β=.06, p < .001), remodeling from 1 year after birth until 1year ago (β=.04, p < .001), using of plastic container (β=.03, p < .001), and change of floor materials from 1 year after birth until 1year ago (β=.01, p=.006) which explained about 10% of behavioral problems.CONCLUSION: This study showed that indoor environmental exposures were associated with behavioral problems in children with allergic diseases. Based on the findings of this study, programs focusing on controlling of indoor environmental exposures may help to prevent and reduce behavioral problems in children with allergic diseases.
