简要总结
The AQUA© questionnaire developed in 2008 is a validated tools for the screening of allergic diseases in adult athletes. The objective of the present study is to develop and validate a modified version of the AQUA© questionnaire to be used in childhood. In this phase, the validation is intended to assess the reliability of the information collected through the AQUA© modified version: question difficulty and response patterns with respect to children characteristics (in particular age, sex and physical activity). In particular, the focus will be on the "core questions", i.e. the indicators of allergic disorders. This is a cross-sectional study on 1264 healthy schoolchildren aged 8 to 14 years.
