Abstract
Current trends in the prevalence of childhood asthma and asthma-like symptoms vary from clear increases in some countries to stabilisation or even a fall in others.4 We examined the situation in the United Kingdom by doing a further study in Aberdeen, using the same protocol as in 19891 and 1994.2Keywords
