These latest findings contribute to a further understanding of how the environment impacts child health.

During the study, the researchers controlled for exposure to tobacco smoke and maternal history of asthma, both of which may influence the likelihood of developing asthma or allergies.

According to the researchers, a prospective follow-up of this birth cohort will help determine whether the development of anti-cockroach, anti-mouse immunoglobulin (Ig) E by age three is associated with impaired lung function and/or persistent asthma.

The study is published in the November 2008 issue of the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
