Abstract

This review examines the relations between early childhood lower respiratory symptoms and adult respiratory disease. The problems associated with investigating potential associations between respiratory disease in children and adults are discussed. Some studies have limitations because they are retrospective and early childhood respiratory symptoms have not been accurately diagnosed. Therefore, in this review, particular attention is paid to longitudinal studies (some from birth) that have used strict diagnostic criteria for respiratory episodes. These studies provide unique insights into the risk factors for the development of childhood respiratory problems and for persistence of symptoms into adulthood. Although cross-sectional studies have indicated that early childhood respiratory disease is more frequent in adults with respiratory disease, evidence from longitudinal studies suggests that respiratory symptoms such as wheezing, are transient in the majority of infants and result from developmentally small airways. These longitudinal investigations have also indicated that persistence of symptoms into later childhood is associated with atopy. The important role of cigarette-smoke exposure as a risk factor for abnormal pulmona...Continue Reading

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
