*The dependent variable is the status of asthmas patient or control; the independent variables included Sex: 0 = male and 1 = female; Age: continuous variable in years; Family history: 0 = no and 1 = yes; Anti-Hsp60: 0 = negative and 1 = positive; Anti-Hsp70: 0 = negative and 1 = positive.
**OR, odds ratio, and CI, confidence interval.
