Abstract

Background: Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease influenced by genetic and environmental factors.
While spirometry is a key diagnostic tool for assessing lung function in asthmatic individuals, the effect
of a family history of asthma on spirometric parameters in healthy, asymptomatic children remains
unclear. This study aims to compare pulmonary function test (PFT) results between healthy children
aged 9-15 years with and without a family history of asthma.
