Figures & data

Figure 1. Baseline (year 1) and follow-up (year 2–5) of participants stratified per year of recruitment (2011–2014). Response rate summarized column-wise per year of participation (years 1–5) and presented as % (number of participating athletes/number of eligible athletes).

Table 2. Basic characteristics of the population at risk at baseline (year 1) comparing incident cases of physician-diagnosed asthma (incident asthma) and subjects who remained without asthma diagnosis (no asthma) during follow-up.

Table 3. Risk factors at baseline for incident physician-diagnosed asthma, analyzed in bivariate and multivariate logistic regression models.
