AB  - AIMS: A cross-sectional study was carried out with the objective of identifying 
      nutrition habits and housing conditions as risk factors for respiratory problems 
      in schoolchildren in Lisbon. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Between October and December 
      2008, parents of 900 students of the basic schools of Lisbon were invited to 
      answer a questionnaire of the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in 
      Childhood Program (ISAAC). The response rate was 40%. Logistic regression was 
      used in the analysis of results. RESULTS: The prevalence of asthma, allergic 
      rhinitis and wheeze was 5.6%, 43.0% and 43.3%, respectively. Risk factors 
      independently associated with asthma were wheezing attacks, and dry cough at 
      night not related to common cold in the last 12 months. Wheezing crises were 
      found to affect children daily activities. Risk factors for wheeze were hay fever 
      and the presence of a pet at home. A risk factor for rhinitis was cough at night. 
      The frequent consumption of egg was also associated with increased risk of 
      rhinitis. CONCLUSION: Contrarily to asthma, the prevalence of allergic rhinitis 
      and wheeze increased in comparison with previous ISAAC studies. Wheezing attacks 
      were associated with asthma and hay fever was identified as a risk factor of 
      manifesting wheezing symptoms. Having pets at home was pointed out as a 
      significant risk factor for rhinitis, but not smoking exposure, mould, plush 
      toys, diet (except egg consumption), breastfeeding or other conditions.
