The association between prenatal SHS exposure and AD
Although no statistically significant differences were noted in AD
diagnosis, symptoms, and current AD between the SHS-exposed and
non-exposed groups until 6 years of age, children with prenatal SHS
exposure had a significantly higher risk of AD diagnosis (aOR 1.670,
95% CI: 0.995–2.804), symptoms (aOR=1.483, 95%CI: 1.021–2.155), and
current AD (aOR=1.823, 95% CI: 1.051–3.161) at school age (7–9 years)
(Table 2).
