Population disparities in asthma.

Hypotheses for between-country disparities in asthma prevalence, including differences in "hygiene" (e.g., family size, use of day care, early-life respiratory infection exposures, endotoxin and other farm-related exposures), and environmental influences on somatic growth (low birth weight, prematurity, and obesity) are discussed.
