Implication

Case-control study identifies low socio-economic status and anaemia as significant factors increasing wheezing risk in children under 5, suggesting areas for intervention.

Key Points

Lower socio-economic status was identified as a significant predictor of recurrent wheezing in children under 5.
Anaemia was found to be a strong predictor with an odds ratio of 20.8 in the study group.
Logistic regression analysis highlighted environmental risk factors like overcrowding as relevant yet less impactful than SES and anaemia.
The study underscores the need for addressing socio-economic factors to mitigate wheezing in young children.
