To evaluate the effects of age, height and prechallenge respiratory system resistance (Rrs) on bronchial responsiveness to methacholine inhalation (BRm) as measured by the oscillation technique in children with mild asthma, we studied BRm in 92 atopic children aged from 8 to 13 years (mean 2 SD, 10.
