2 Fig. 1 Hypothetic yearly peak prevalence of wheezing for the 3 different wheezing phenotypes in childhood. Prevalence for each age interval should be the sum of the areas under each curve. This classification of wheezing phenotypes should not imply groups are exclusive. Dashed lines suggest wheezing can present different curve shapes because of many different factors including overlap of groups.
