We tested the hypothesis that multiple obesity-related risk factors (obesity, physical activity, cardiopulmonary physical fitness, sleep-disorder breathing (SDB), and sleep quality) are associated with childhood asthma using a Mendelian randomization (MR) design. Furthermore, we aim to investigate ...
However, the difficult/therapy- resistant asthmatic patient may have a distinct genotype. A number of medical factors may contribute to poor control in asthma (table 2). Gastro-oesophageal reflux is commonly noted in asthmatics, with a reported incidence of up to 60% in children with moderate...
In addition, the studies had different objectives and differed in potentially relevant factors such as age of onset and diagnostic criteria (see Supplementary Note 1 and Supplementary Table 1). For this reason, we performed tests for association separately for each dataset, and then combined the ...
Context.—Multiple factors contribute to mortality in older adults, but the extent to which subclinical disease and other factors contribute independently
were to determine the prevalence of asthma and allergies in 13- to 14-year-old adolescents in the city of Taubaté, São Paulo, Brazil using the INTERNATIONAL STUDY OF ASTHMA AND ALLERGIES IN CHILDHOOD (ISAAC) questionnaire and to describe the presence of risk factors in current asthma ...
Factors related to immune maturation seem to be particularly relevant in this context. Notably, recent evidence suggests that resistance to viral infection and atopic sensitization is dependent on an overlapping series of immune mechanisms that are strongly developmentally regulated and as a consequence ...
Medical costs have recently increased in South Korea due to the rising rate of asthma. Primary clinics serve an important role in asthma management, as they are the first stop for patients presenting with symptoms. The Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA) in South Korea has asse...
factors, including indoor and outdoor air pollution. Over the past two decades, there has been increasing interest in studies of air pollution and its effects on human health. Although the role played by outdoor pollutants in allergic sensitization of the airways has yet to be clarified, a ...
Study results were used to develop a descriptive physiologic asthma model and propose updated population-based asthma intervention program guidelines. Keywords: ambient gases; asthma; ecological settings; particulate matter; physiologic mechanisms; remote sensing; respiration-specific outcomes; risk factors ...
