BACKGROUND: Prenatal exposure to tobacco smoke through mother's smoking increases the risk of developing asthma later in life. A recent study suggested that this effect is present only in girls. We explored potential differences in susceptibility between boys and girls.
METHODS: We followed all 58,841 Finnish singleton babies born in 1987 through 5 nationwide registries for 7 years and identified all cases of doctor-diagnosed asthma (ICD-9 code 493). The birth registry provided categorical information on the mother's smoking during pregnancy: no smoking (reference), low exposure (<10 cigarettes per day), and high exposure (>10 cigarettes per day).
RESULTS: In girls the cumulative incidence of asthma was 0.0245 in the reference group, 0.0310 in the low maternal smoking group (risk difference = 0.0065; 95% CI = 0.0053-0.0076), and 0.0360 in the high maternal smoking group (0.0115; 0.0096-0.0133). The corresponding cumulative incidences for boys were 0.0405, 0.0501 (0.0096; 0.0089-0.0103), and 0.0522 (0.0117; 0.0091-0.0142). In logistic regression analysis adjusting for confounding, the combined effect of male sex and high maternal smoking (compared with female sex and no smoking) was 112% excess risk. This corresponded closely to what would be expected from the additive independent effects of male sex (67% excess risk) and high maternal smoking (44% excess risk).
CONCLUSIONS: Effects of maternal smoking during pregnancy on the risk of developing asthma are similar in boys and girls, with no interaction on an additive scale.
