Objective: To compare whether adolescents who are exposed to truck smoke have a higher prevalence of asthma symptomatology versus those who are not exposed.

Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive, and comparative study. Adolescents aged 13 and 14 years were included and completed a self-report questionnaire. Subjects were selected following the same methodology as in ISAAC phase III. They underwent an epidemiological survey for the presence of symptoms. Ex- posure to truck smoke was defined as passing trucks most of the day as perceived by the patient. The distribution was assessed with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Comparisons with Chi-square or Student's t-test, as appropriate. A value of p³0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results: A total of 492 patients were included. The demographic variables can be seen in Table 1. When performing the association between the groups of ad- olescents with asthma exposed to truck smoke, a significant difference was found in the prevalence of respiratory symptomatology and asthma (26.0% vs 9.6%, p=0.000) (Table 1).

Conclusions: Adolescent patients with asthma who are exposed to truck smoke demonstrated a significant difference in the presence of respiratory symptom- atology and asthma compared to patients without exposure.
