Early identification and sustained management are crucial for mitigating the growing public health burden of asthma and allergic diseases. This study implements a coherent system spanning from population-level assessment to individualized, long-term care. The primary objectives are to: Validate a culturally adapted screening questionnaire and an integrated digital health platform for the Chinese population. Establish a prospective longitudinal cohort to investigate disease progression and evaluate the clinical efficacy of non-pharmacological interventions via embedded randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The investigators will enroll approximately 9,666 first-year university students into a hybrid study that combines a digital cohort with targeted intervention trials. Following initial tool validation, large-scale screening will be conducted during entrance health check-ups. Individuals identified through screening or with self-reported allergic conditions will be invited to join a longitudinal management cohort for at least one year of follow-up. Within this monitoring framework, eligible participants will be recruited into three distinct embedded RCTs evaluating non-pharmacological strategies: * Allergen Avoidance: Evaluating the impact of weekly anti-mite bedding replacement and HEPA vacuuming. * Exercise Intervention: An 8-week behavioral program using wearable activity trackers to improve outcomes for sedentary adults with asthma. * Dietary Intervention: A 12-week study assessing the effects of a Mediterranean diet on asthma control. Longitudinal follow-up utilizes a mixed-methods strategy, integrating passive self-reporting every 3 months via the digital platform with active researcher-led assessments every 6 months, including clinical laboratory testing (IgE, FeNO) and spirometry. This approach allows for the investigation of complex interactions between genetic susceptibility and environmental exposures in disease expression.
