[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS 4rzR0xFN. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Epidemiologic studies have consistently shown inverse associations of allergic disease with risk of glioma, but it is unclear whether this association also applies to meningioma. The authors conducted a pooled analysis of meningioma risk in relation to a history of allergic disease based on data from two population-based, case-control studies with 475 cases and 1,716 controls in the United Kingdom (2001-2004). Meningioma risk was significantly reduced in relation to self-reported, physician-diagnosed allergic disease (odds ratio=0.76,95% confidence interval (Cl) : 0.61,0.96) but was nonsignificantly reduced for individual conditions : asthma (odds ratio=0.85,95% Cl : 0.61,1.18), hay fever (odds ratio=0.81,95% Cl : 0.62,1.06), and eczema (odds ratio=0.72,95% Cl : 0.51,1.02). Risk reductions were greatest for asthma (odds ratio=0.43,95% Cl : 0.21,0.89) and hay fever (odds ratio=0.50,95% Cl : 0.25,1.00) with an early age at onset (
