Childhood FA increased the odds of asthma during adulthood by nearly threefold. Additionally, childhood FAS was also associated with increased odds of asthma in adulthood. Conversely, FAS but not FA in childhood was associated with rhinitis in adulthood. We suggest that children with FA/FAS should be followed up to facilitate early detection and intervention of subsequent AAD, particularly asthma.
