XXXX : to what degree is incidence affected by day-care attendance?

@entity1 @entity2169 @entity1729 @entity11127
Risk factors for @entity11127 in childhood were evaluated in a population-based sample of the Atlanta metropolitan area. Mothers from 449 households containing 575 @entity1 less than 5 years of age were selected by random-digit dialing and questioned about @entity1729 and @entity2169 occurring in their @entity1 during the preceding 2 weeks. Household demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, maternal smoking history and @entity1 day-care attendance and breast-feeding information were also obtained. For @entity1 less than 5 years of age, the reported incidence of @entity1729 was 24%, and of @entity2169 , 6%. Controlling for the other variables measured, day-care attendance was associated with a significantly increased risk of both illnesses. For @entity1729 , increased risk was present for all @entity1 attending day care (P = .02, odds ratio = 1.6), whereas for @entity2169 , risk could be demonstrated only for full-time attendees (P = .005, odds ratio = 3.8). Maternal smoking was a second independent risk factor for a @entity1 's having @entity1729 (odds ratio = 1.7, P = .01). Thirty-one percent of all @entity1729 among day-care attendees and 66% of all @entity2169 among full-time day-care attendees were attributable to day-care attendance. Given the proportion of @entity1 in day care, 9% to 14% of the total burden of upper @entity11127 in this population was day care related.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
