Abstract：
:There are no proven interventions for primary prevention of asthma. As asthma prevalence varies globally, comparing asthma in native and foreign-born children might provide insights. We pooled data from five cross sectional asthma surveys (N = 962). Place of birth was associated with asthma (OR = 3.4, P < 0.001). In children not born in the US, lower socio-economic status had no significant effect on asthma (OR = 0.71, P = 0.53), while for children born in the US, the effect was significant (OR = 2.1, P = 0.001). The odds ratio for exposure to household pests was significant (OR = 1.6, P < 0.008) for children born in the US but was non-significant for children born outside the US (OR = 0.29, P = 0.11). Our findings are consistent with foreign-born children experiencing protective factors or US born children experiencing detrimental environmental exposures.
