Childhood SES trajectories.

<p>SES trajectories were derived from parent-reported housing data (number of bedrooms in the family home, for each year of the child's life). Individual children were assigned to trajectory groups using a semiparametric, group-based statistical modeling strategy; the number of children in each group is shown. Plotted lines represent the average trajectory for each group. SES, socioeconomic status.</p

Flowchart of recruitment design.

<p>All parents of children from the 1995 Manitoba birth cohort who were alive and still resided in Manitoba were sent a short recruitment survey to which 3598 responded. These were grouped into cases and controls based on asthma status. Non-asthmatic controls were stratified according to urban or rural residence. Dust samples were collected from 190 and 394 cases and controls respectively. Of these, 77% of asthmatic children (n = 147) and 70% of control children (n = 275) were followed up for re-assessment by a pediatric allergist at age 11–14.</p
