Fig. 1 Crude prevalence (in percentage) of self-reported respiratory symptoms in northern Italy in 1991-1993 (dark columns) and in 1998-2000 (light columns) . Bars are values; lines are 95% confidence intervals. Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology 2003 111, 1232-1238DOI: (10.1067/mai.2003.1484) Copyright © 2003 Mosby, Inc. Terms and Conditions

Fig. 2 Crude prevalence (in percentage) of self-reported respiratory symptoms and antiasthmatic treatment in northern Italy according to age class and time of survey. Red columns refer to the first survey (1991-1993) and blue columns to the second survey (1998-2000). P values above each set of columns refer to significance of the interaction age × time of survey, which was evaluated for each symptom by a logistic regression model controlling for sex, age, site of residence (urban/suburban), season of response, type of contact (mail/phone), and cumulative response rate.

Fig. 3 Crude prevalence (in percentage) of self-reported respiratory symptoms and antiasthmatic treatment in northern Italy according to site of residence and time of survey. Green and red colors refer to suburban and urban areas, respectively, whereas solid and hatched areas refer to the first (1991-1993) and second surveys (1998-2000), respectively.
