Prävention bei Asthma bronchiale im Kindesalter

Summary:Environmental factors during early childhood seem to influence the onset of asthma, a disease that affects 10% of all German children, respectively. Prevention strategies are needed to reduce the burden of the disease. Breast feeding and the avoidance of environmental tobacco smoke exposure are recommended for primary prevention. Furthermore, secondary prevention measurements are suggested to reduce the onset of symptoms, once the disease is present.
