The frequency of atopy doubled between 1987 (39 [10%] of 392) and 1998 (87 [19%] of 467; risk ratio 1.88 [95% CI 1.31-2.68]). This increase was largest in 15-19-year olds, but also occurred in older people, suggesting that the risk factors responsible for the increase in atopy do not operate only in childhood.",
