Background: As the prevalence of asthma, allergic rhinitis (AR), and atopic dermatitis (AD) rises globally, it is important to determine the prevalence of these diseases in different geographic regions to identify potential modifiable risk factors. Objective: We sought to determine the prevalence of asthma, AR, and AD in Sri Lankan children living in different climatic and geographical regions and to identify host and environmental risk factors. Methods: tests for association. Conclusion: The presence of other allergic diseases, BMI, and urbanicity together with certain environmental conditions was associated with the prevalence of these diseases. Therefore, environmental modification as well as lifestyle interventions may help to reduce the prevalence of these allergic diseases.
