ABSTRACT
Background:
Asthma continues to be the leading chronic disease affecting children in the United States. With mounting evidence of how diet plays a role in both chronic and allergic diseases, it is important to identify types of foods that may potentially promote a pro-inflammatory state. The study aims to examine the association between current asthma prevalence and intake of specific foods among children in California.Methods:
Cross-sectional study conducting secondary analysis of data from the 2001 to 2015 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) child surveys. A total of 65,565 completed surveys met the eligibility criteria (children ages 2-11) between the years 2001 and 2015. After excluding children with less than 2 years of age (for whom diet questions were not asked), analysis was conducted using 56,312 surveys. Multivariable logistic regression models estimated the adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs for the association of dietary intake with current asthma, controlling for confounding variables gender, age, race, weight status, parent's education, English language proficiency of parent, household income, and location of residence. Analyses were survey weighted using raking variables to adjust for the oversampling and nonresponse surveys to reflect California Department of Finance Population Estimates for each survey period.Results:
Approximately 13.4% of children in California currently have asthma. Consuming three or more sodas per day (adjusted OR = 1.83, 95% CI 1.22-2.76, P = 0.004), two or more servings of French fries per day (adjusted odds ratio = 1.89, 95% CI 1.08-3.21, P = 0.026), and fast food two or more times per week (adjusted odds ratio = 1.21, 95% CI 1.02-1.45, P = 0.031) were positively associated with the prevalence for asthma.Conclusion:
Analysis showed that children consuming energy dense foods were significantly associated with greater odds for current asthma after controlling for potential confounders.
