Abstract

To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of childhood asthma in Xinjiang, an online questionnaire survey was conducted among selected children under the age of 14 in Xinjiang in 2022, and information was obtained on the characteristics of 575 children and their families in the region, and logistic regression models were used to estimate the prevalence of asthma disease among children in Xinjiang and its association with family, parental and environmental factors. The results showed that the prevalence of asthma among children in the region was 4.7 per cent, which was a high prevalence. Maternal asthma, longer heating periods, longer opening of windows in spring and proximity to waste incineration plants or garbage dumps were significantly associated with a higher prevalence of asthma in children. Breastfeeding and physical activity were each significantly associated with a lower risk of asthma. Socioeconomic factors were not significantly associated with childhood asthma in Xinjiang.
