Studies have shown a clear link between ADHD and asthma in children

A new study led by the University of Southampton in the UK has found a "clear" link between ADHD and asthma in children, which could have a significant impact on the clinical treatment of both diseases and could lead to new insights into the pathophysiology of ADHD.
ADHD, also known as attention deficit ADHD, is a common type of behavioral disorder in childhood, mainly manifested in age and developmental levels of unconscioned attention, excessive activity, emotional impulses and so on. Asthma is a common chronic inflammation of the airways, often leading to wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness and other symptoms.
researchers at the University of Southampton and others reported in the British journal
that they had analysed 49 related data sets, including more than 3.3 million people, of whom about 210,000 had ADHD. It was found that 16. Nine percent had asthma, and 11. 5%; 8. Eight percent of people with ADHD and no asthma had 5. 6%。
In addition, they conducted a study of nearly 1.6 million children, of whom nearly 260,000 had asthma and nearly 60,000 had ADHD, and found that asthma was 24. 8% and 16. 1%; Among those with and without asthma, the proportion of people with ADHD was 5. 5% and 3. 3%。
researchers say the data show a "clear" link between ADHD and asthma, which is not mentioned in current ADHD and asthma treatment guidelines, so understanding the link could help doctors diagnose the problem in a timely manner. (Source: Zhang Jiawei, Xinhua News Agency)
