Abstract
Background and objective Paternal passive smoke exposure before 15 years of age was associated with offspring childhood asthma, but its association with asthma beyond childhood had not been investigated. We aimed to investigate such long-term association. Methods Data were from 1078 father–offspring and 1537 mother–offspring pairs from the Tasmanian Longitudinal Health Study. Offspring (probands of the original cohort) completed asthma surveys at age 7, 13, 18, 30, 43, 50 and 53 years. Life-course asthma trajectories were developed using group-based trajectory modelling. Parents self-reported their own passive smoke exposure before 15 years of age. Multinomial logistic regressions assessed a..
