Sammanfattning
This review summarises the results of studies of trends over time of allergic respiratory disease (ARD) in Denmark. The available evidence from repeated cross-sectional population-based studies supports the hypothesis that a real and substantial increase in the prevalence of ARD has occurred over recent decades. The causes of this increase are largely unknown. Due to its high and increasing prevalence, ARD should be considered a major public health problem. More research into the causes of this increase is needed in order to be able to develop strategies for primary prevention.
