Abstract

The Childhood Asthma Prevention Study (CAPS) commenced in 1997 in Sydney, Australia, because of concern about the high and increasing prevalence of childhood asthma. Cross-sectional and ecological studies had shown that exposure to high concentrations of house dust mite (HDM) allergen and being sensitized to HDM were both associated with increased prevalence. Other studies had indicated that children who regularly consumed oily fish containing high levels of omega-3 fatty acids were less likely to have airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR) and asthma. Those who regularly consumed oils and spreads containing polyunsaturated fats with a higher proportion of omega-6 fatty acids had an increased prevalence of asthma-like symptoms.
