Among them, 9,244 participants who answered both questions about asthma history and soft drink intake were included in the study. The association between asthma and several variables such as age, sex, education level, household income level, smoking, obesity, physical activity, and soft drink consumption was analyzed via multivariate logistic regression analysis.
Results: Of the participants, 222 people (2.4%; standard error, 0.2) were diagnosed with asthma.
