Asthma is a common respiratory disease that affects people of all ages, characterized by considerable heterogeneity in age, clinical presentation, genetics, epigenetics, environmental factors, treatment response, and prognostic outcomes. more than 330 million worldwide, which 33% are children under 14 years, 27% adults whose first symptoms occurred childhood. However, the genetic epigenetic mec...

objective: childhood infectious diseases are one of the most known environmental pathogenic causes of childhood asthma. the high prevalence of both helicobacter pylori infection and asthma in our country prompted us to assess anyprobable as- sociation between them in childhood. methods: this cross-sectional study recruited 196 children aged 6 to 12 years old comprising 98 asthmatic (case group)...

BACKGROUND Childhood asthma can have a range of outcomes in adulthood. OBJECTIVE To identify clinical features and exposures associated with persistence and severity of childhood asthma in adulthood. METHODS Eighty-five of 121 subjects previously enrolled in a study of immunotherapy for childhood allergic asthma (age 5-12 years) were re-evaluated with allergy skin testing, spirometry, and i...

OBJECTIVE To examine asthma remission from childhood to middle age. METHODS This was a population-based cohort study. In 1968 the Tasmanian Longitudinal Health Study enrolled 8583 7-year-old Tasmanian schoolchildren who were re-surveyed in 2004. Those reporting ever having asthma when last surveyed completed another questionnaire in 2007 ascertaining age at last asthma attack and asthma medic...

BACKGROUND Hot and cold temperatures have been associated with childhood asthma. However, the relationship between daily temperature variation and childhood asthma is not well understood. This study aimed to examine the relationship between diurnal temperature range (DTR) and childhood asthma. METHODS A Poisson generalized linear model combined with a distributed lag non-linear model was used...

OBJECTIVES To investigate a) whether childhood adversity predicts adult-onset asthma; b) whether early-onset depressive/anxiety disorders predict adult-onset asthma; and c) whether childhood adversity and early-onset depressive/anxiety disorders predict adult-onset asthma independently of each other. Previous research has suggested, but not established, that childhood adversity may predict adul...

Asthma is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases worldwide, with a considerable increase, especially in children. It considered main cause childhood morbidity, school absenteeism, and limitations sports practice. The causes are multifactorial, their prevalence varies from region to region, thus verifying great disparity estimates asthma. In this sense, objective study investigate asthma, it...

Childhood asthma is influenced by multiple factors including genetic, socioeconomic, socio demographic and environmental factors. The symptoms of childhood asthma are observed to be variable. Some studies reported that asthma prevalence is disproportionately high among socially disadvantaged children. On the other hand, some reports found weak or no association between social disadvantage and c...
