Abstract

Objectives: To analyze the family health history of children with asthma, and to determine the prevalence of asthma among family members of asthmatic children. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study on 167 children aged 1-11 years with asthma at Children's Hospital 1 in Ho Chi Minh City. Data on family health history over 3 generations were collected, including asthma, allergic rhinitis, and eczema/allergic dermatitis. Results: 23.35% of children had a positive family history of asthma. Approximately 1/3 of families had >1 family member with asthma in the past 3 generations. The prevalence of asthma in family members decreased from siblings, parents, to grandparents. The proportion of children receiving step 2 care with positive family history of asthma was higher than those without this characteristic. Conclusion: Family history of asthma and associated allergic diseases are related to the severity and treatment response of childhood asthma. Analysis of family health history helps identify children at risk of developing asthma
