摘要：

Objective. To estimate the impact of traffic flow on the prevalence of asthma among school children of 6 to7 and 13 to 14-years of age. Methods. A cross-sectional study consisting of 5,917 children selected in schools of the Cone Norte of Lima, Peru. Results. For the 6- to 7-year age group the prevalence of medical diagnosis of asthma according to the traffic flow index was 8.6% (CI: 6.8-10.8), 10.3% (CI: 8.4-12.4), and 15.3% (CI: 13.3-17.5) at low, medium and high, respectively, and for the 13- to 14-year age group, 11.9% (CI: 9.4-14.6), 13.3% (Cl: 11.6-15.2), and 17.1 % (Cl: 14.7-19.6). Conclusions. For both groups, the prevalence of asthma was significantly related to traffic flow density.
