Likewise, in age-specific subgroup analyses, we found an increasing trend of height deviation with younger age at asthma diagnosis ( p for trend = 0.022), with the strongest association observed for asthma diagnosed before 4 years of age (− 2.57 [95% CI − 4.14 to − 1.00] and − 2.80 [95% CI − 4.06 to − 1.54] for asthma diagnosed at age ≤ 2 and 3–4 years, respectively) (Table 3 ).
