^*Defined as daycare attendance during the first year of life for wheezing at age 12 months, attendance during the second year of life for wheezing at 24 months of age and lifetime attendance for persistent wheezing.

ns: not significant at the 0.20 level and therefore removed from model (interaction only).

^†ETS, mold and/or high DEP
