Adult height in women with childhood asthma--a population-based study.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:To study adult height in children that grew up with asthma before inhaled steroids became first-line therapy. METHODS:Data from the Swedish Medical Birth Register (self-reported asthma) and the Hospital Discharge Register (first hospitalization for asthma) were used, to compare adult height for asthmatic and non-asthmatic pregnant women. The analysis was restricted to women in their first full-term pregnancy, born in Sweden between 1960-1974 and of Swedish citizenship. RESULTS:The mean height of all the women in the study population was 166.7 cm (SD = 8.8, n = 287,750) and of the women who reported asthma 166.5 cm (SD = 6.1, n = 13,059, p < 0.01). The mean height of women first hospitalized because of asthma at age 0-8 years was 165.5 cm (SD = 5.9 cm, n = 555, p < 0.01). Among the asthmatic women, there was no skew distribution of heights. CONCLUSIONS:Girls with moderate to severe childhood asthma who grew up before inhaled glucocorticosteroids became first-line therapy attained 0.7-1.2 cm lower adult height. The differences in height. while of statistical relevance, are not clinically relevant.
