Proportional Venn diagram and determinants of allergic respiratory diseases in Italian adolescents

Large variations in prevalence of atopy and allergic diseases are reported worldwide in children, but in epidemiological studies the use of skin prick tests (SPT) and spirometry along with questionnaires is not common in the Mediterranean Area. The present work was aimed at evaluating the prevalence of current asthma (CA), rhinoconjunctivitis (RC), and eczema (E), with atopy and respiratory function, and the role of risk factors for allergic respiratory diseases.

A proportional Venn diagram quantified the distribution of CA, RC, and E, stratifying for allergic s…
