FIGURE 5.
Multivariable logistic regression models: association between atopy and blood eosinophils with preschool wheeze and asthma. Contribution of atopy and blood eosinophils is shown for risk of preschool wheeze and asthma after adjustment for confounders. a) Children with wheeze versus healthy children (aged <6 years); b) children with asthma versus healthy children (aged ≥6 years); c) adult asthma patients versus healthy adults (aged ≥18 to <45 years); and d) adult asthma patients versus healthy adults (aged ≥45 years). Atopy was defined as at least one allergen with specific immunoglobulin E ≥0.7 kU·L−1. aOR: adjusted odds ratio.
