We assessed airway inflammation, reticular basement membrane (RBM) thickness, airway smooth muscle (ASM), mucus gland area, vascularity, and epithelial integrity.

Vascularity was higher in group 1 than in group 2 (P\u2009=\u20090.02) and group 3 (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05). Mucus gland area was higher in preschoolers than in schoolchildren (16.4% vs. 4.6%; P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.01). Inflammatory cell counts in biopsies were not correlated with airway wall structure.
