Objectives: to determine the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding during the first 6 months of life and bronchial asthma in the pediatric population at the National Police Hospital in 2016.  Materials and methods: an analytical observational study of cases and controls was not matched. ratio 1 case for 3 controls, with a total of 53 cases and 159 controls, a simple random probability sampling was performed, with a retrospective collection for the variables exclusive breastfeeding, Prematurity, sex and age. A bivariate and multiple logistic regression model was performed to obtain the Odds Ratio for the strength of association. Results: being 24.53% and 44.65% exclusive breastfeeding for cases and controls, a statistically significant difference was found (p = 0.009). By multiple logistic regression analysis exclusive breastfeeding (OR 0.41, p = 0.014, IC 0.20-0.84) show...
