Abstract
Background: Asthma is the most common chronic disease in pediatric age.1 Childhood-onset asthma is typically characterized by a personal and often a family history of atopy.2 Family history of atopic diseases need to be confirmed as major risk factors for asthma occurrence and persistence in children.3 Aim: To determine whether or not asthma is related to family history of atopy in Indonesian children. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 358 children who attended the Harum Melati Clinic, Pringsewu, Lampung, Indonesia, from March 2017 to August 2019. The patient group comprised 261 asthmatic children and the control group comprised 97 non-asthmatic children. Information was collected concerning their familial history of atopy. Kendall Tau-b test was used to measure the strength and direction of association between two variables measured. Results: There were 316 children (88.3 %) had a family history of atopy and 42 children (11.7%) did not have a family history of atopy (11,7%). Asthma was reported in 65.9 % of children with a family history of atopy and 7 % of children without any family history of atopy. The statistical test showed that childhood asthma was correlated to family history of atopy (p < 0.038 and R= 0.110 ). Conclusions: Childhood asthma was correlated with a family history of atopy. Family history of atopy could be a major risk factor for asthma occurrence and persistence in children.
