  1. Analysis at 1 years = the relationship between exposure in the first year of life and asthma onset between 1 and 6 years of age (pre-school asthma), and between 7 and 15 years of age (school-age asthma), respectively. Analysis at 2 years = the relationship between exposure in the first two years of life and asthma onset between 2 and 6 years of age, and between 7 and 15 years of age, respectively. Analysis at 3 years = the relationship between exposure in the first three years of life and asthma onset between 3 and 6 years of age, and between 7 and 15 years of age, etc
