  1. The analyses have been adjusted for sex, parental asthma, parental smoking and damp housing. The exposure variable was currently attending indoor swimming pools ≥1/week.
  2. Risk estimates express as Odds Ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Data are presented separately for all children in the study population and the children in the study population by sensitization status.
