Abstract：
BACKGROUND: The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, which has a lot of emphasis on the consumption of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and on the other hand, the consumption of red meat and sodium is limited, due to its anti-inflammatory properties, which can be related to reducing the risk of asthma.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the DASH diet and asthma symptoms among children and adolescents.
METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted among7667 children (3414 boys and 4253 girls) aged 6-7 and 13-14 years living in central Iran. Dietary food consumption was assessed using a multiple-choice questionnaire. Logistic regression was used to obtain odds ratios for the association between the DASH-like diet with current asthma and asthma symptoms.
RESULTS: Our findings revealed that higher adherence to a DASH-like diet resulted in lower odds of asthma confirmed by a doctor among the whole population (OR = 0.53; 95%CI: 0.36-0.76) and also in females (OR = 0.47; 95%CI: 0.29-0.78). Moreover, the higher adherence to the DASH-like diet was inversely associated with the chance of wheezing in the past 12 months in all subjects (OR = 0.67; 95%CI: 0.51-0.86) and in boys (OR = 0.57; 95%CI: 0.38-0.85).
CONCLUSIONS: The findings of the present study showed that following the DASH diet can be associated with the improvement of asthma symptoms in children and adolescents. However, more research is needed to improve dietary recommendations for asthma prevention.

摘要：
背景：停止高血压（DASH）饮食的饮食方法，它非常重视水果的消费，蔬菜,和全谷物，另一方面,红肉和钠的消费是有限的，由于其抗炎特性，这可能与降低哮喘的风险有关。
目的：本研究的目的是确定DASH饮食与儿童和青少年哮喘症状之间的关系。
方法：这项横断面研究是对生活在伊朗中部的6-7岁和13-14岁的7667名儿童（3414名男孩和4253名女孩）进行的。使用多项选择问卷评估膳食食物消耗。使用Logistic回归获得DASH样饮食与当前哮喘和哮喘症状之间关联的比值比。
结果：我们的发现表明，在整个人群中（OR=0.53；95CI：0.36-0.76）和女性（OR=0.47；95CI：0.29-0.78）中，对DASH样饮食的依从性越高，哮喘的发病率越低。此外，在所有受试者(OR=0.67;95CI:0.51-0.86)和男孩(OR=0.57;95CI:0.38-0.85)中,DASH样饮食依从性较高与过去12个月发生喘息的几率呈负相关.
结论：本研究的结果表明，遵循DASH饮食可以改善儿童和青少年的哮喘症状。然而,需要更多的研究来改善哮喘预防的饮食建议.
