| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A longitudinal observational study of the children who were born in a catchment area in Nha Trang City, Vietnam between May 2009 and May 2010 was continued until the children reached six years of age. We succeeded to obtain the data for the evaluation of development, specimens for urinalysis and stool examination as well as history of past and present illness including respiratory/gastrointestinal infections, asthma and allergic diseases upon medical check at school age from more than 1200 children. Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) increased the incidence of respiratory infections in infants and certain genetic factors, such as the Asian variant of aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2*2), augmented the effect of ETS. Further the factors which influence the prevalence of asthma and other allergy status were found in the present study.
