Abstract

Common comorbid medical conditions including allergic rhinitis (AR), obesity, and sleep disordered breathing (SDB) have been linked with asthma exacerbations; however, these conditions also impact sleep and academic functioning. The current study sought to examine unique and combined associations of these common comorbidities on sleep and academic performance among urban minority children with persistent asthma. We expected additional comorbid diagnoses would be associated with poorer sleep and academic functioning. Urban children 7-9 years old (n = 249) with persistent asthma from African American, Latino, and non-Latino White backgrounds participated in this cross-sectional study. Asthma and AR were assessed using guidelines-based approaches. Overweight/obesity was assessed using body mass index and parents reported on SDB risk. Sleep quality (sleep efficiency) and sleep duration were assessed via 4 weeks of actigraphy. A cumulative risk index (CRI) score of asthma-related comorbidities (i.e., number of comorbidities for which each child met criteria) was calculated. Comorbid conditions were prevalent (AR, 85%; overweight/obese, 39%; SDB risk, 44%). Lower SDB risk and better AR control were both associated with fewer school a...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.
