Este é um estudo contínuo que irá continuar com o objetivo de recrutar e analisar os voluntários com vista a obter-se uma amostra maior que permita extrapolar os nossos dados à população em geral. Além disso, todos os voluntários com questionários positivos a asma brônquica, ABA, rinite e RA, serão posteriormente estudados com recurso a meios complementares de diagnóstico, com o intuito de se confirmar o diagnóstico e determinar a sua severidade.
