It is necessary to identify asthma-related risk factors to reduce the presence and development of symptoms.\nObjective: This study aimed to explore the association of multiple possible factors with asthma symptoms in two subpopulations, children, adolescents, and adults, in six cities in Colombia.\nMaterials and methods: This was an observational analytical case-control study based on a cross-sectional study conducted as a secondary analysis of the prevalence of asthma and other allergic diseases in Colombia during 2009 and 2010. Weighted logistic regressions were conducted for each population.\nResults: Out of the 5978 subjects in the cross-sectional survey, 747 were identified as cases, and 3109 were identified as controls. The prevalence of asthma was 30.8% in the child and adolescent population and 14.7% in the adult population. Among the various factors studied, those associated with asthma symptoms in children\/adolescents were: a family history of asthma (OR 2.4; 95% CI 1.3\u20134.7) and rhinitis (OR 2.0; 95% CI 1.1\u20133.6); acetaminophen consumption at least once a month (OR 3.6; 95% CI 2.1\u20136.2); and the presence of birds at home (OR 2.0; 95% CI 1.1\u20133.8). Regarding food consumption: fruit consumption (OR 3.8; 95% CI 1.1\u201312.7). In adults, the factors that showed significant association were: a family history of allergic diseases (rhinitis OR 3.3; 95% CI 2.3\u20134.6), atopic eczema (OR 4.4; 95% CI 2.8\u20137.0), or asthma (OR 1.8;95% CI 1.3\u20132.6); acetaminophen consumption at least once a month (OR 2.0; 1.5\u20132.8); the presence of dogs at home (OR 1.4;95% CI 1.03\u20131.8), exposure to second-hand smoke (OR 1.7; 95% CI 1.2\u20132.2), and exposure to exhaust fumes during the day (OR 1.7; 95% CI 1.04\u20132.7).\nConclusions: Our findings suggest that different cultural, environmental, and family factors are associated with asthma symptoms in children and adolescents, and these associations are evident in both males and females.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.15586\/aei.v53i1.1122","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,1]],"date-time":"2025-01-01T15:35:18Z","timestamp":1735745718000},"page":"69-85","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Factors associated with asthma symptoms in Colombian subpopulations aged 1 to 17 and 18 to 59: Secondary analysis of the study \u201cPrevalence of asthma and other allergic diseases in Colombia 2009\u20132010\u201d"],"prefix":"10.15586","volume":"53","author":[{"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Garcia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda X.","family":"Rojas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria C.","family":"Ardila","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mart\u00edn","family":"A.
