DISCUSSIONDISCUSSIONIt was found that SES at the area level predicts general and asthma-It was found that SES at the area level predicts general and asthma-specific health status in adult asthma and rhinitis.specific health status in adult asthma and rhinitis.
A group of such variables (factor 1) consistent with lower SES was A group of such variables (factor 1) consistent with lower SES was associated with greater asthma severity, in contrast a group other associated with greater asthma severity, in contrast a group other variable (factor 2) consistent with suburban SES was associated variable (factor 2) consistent with suburban SES was associated with lower lung function.with lower lung function.
In the case of severity of asthma score, the relationship with the In the case of severity of asthma score, the relationship with the area-level SES didn’t remain statistically significant after taking into area-level SES didn’t remain statistically significant after taking into account the effect of individual-level SES account the effect of individual-level SES
