Asthma Attacks

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/09/health/research/09asthma.html?no_interstitial
I found out something interesting today, AND it can help me in school. According to some science-people (to find out who you can click on the picture to find out who) Scorpios and other fall babies are more likely to develop asthma because they're born right before cold and flu season starts up. So when they start going to daycare and other things of that nature, germs are at their peak.
They also say that children in other countries develop asthma less than the ones in America because some of the other countries don't have sterile places for the babies to be born, and the kids are exposed to germs early on.
This confuses me, because if some kids get asthma more because they're exposed to germs (see first paragraph) then why do they credit other kids NOT getting asthma to being exposed to germs?

it's because they're exposed early to germs, so they're bodies have more time to get used to germs?
