During the 20th century, urbanization has increasing and represented a major demographic and environmental change in developed countries. Urban living may offer a greater possibility to better health care, education and social services, but is also associated with increased exposure to air pollution, outdoors and indoors, loss of natural environments and biodiversity and lifestyle changes. Furthermore, this ever-changing urban environment has an impact on diseases patterns and prevalence, namely on noncommunicable diseases, such as asthma and allergy, and poses many challenges to understand the relationship between the changing on the urban environment and the children health. The overall aim of this thesis was to study the role of the environmental determinants of paediatric asthma.
