ABSTRACT Asthma is a global health problem affecting about 300 million individuals of all ages, ethnic groups and countries. It is estimated that around 250,000 people die prematurely each year as a result of asthma4. Several birth cohort studies evaluating the association between breast feeding and asthma in children have shown consistently protective effects, particularly with exclusive breast feeding15,8. The objective of our study was to evaluate the association between breast feeding versus formula feeding and asthma in children and its relation to duration of breast feeding and other factors affecting asthma. 350 asthmatic child aged 1-6 years who were attending our pediatric clinic at Al Gannas Medical Centre, Al kharj, KSA in the period from 20-8-2011 to 19-2-2013 were included in this study.
