Individuals with asthma are more atopic than the general population, but few reports have quantified this association, i.e. the proportion of asthma in the community due to specific immunoresponse. We aimed to determine the population attributable risk of asthma in the community due to atopy, and the quantity and quality of specific immunoresponses to common aeroallergens involved.
