A study connecting asthma and poor memory to children

In a recent study, possible negative effects of asthma on memory capabilities and cognitive development were revealed to children, especially those suffering from asthma from a young age. The study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, included a long -term analysis of 2062 children in multiple memory tests, speed of treatment and attention. The results showed that children with asthma, especially those who had an early illness showed less performance in memory tests and executive functions, compared to their uninfected counterparts. Asthma in children is an asthma disease, one of the most common chronic diseases in childhood, as it affects about 6.5% of children in the United States, and its rates increase among men. Symptoms of asthma are mainly in breathing problems, such as bile, cough and shortness of breath, and recent studies indicate rodent models that also result in asthma to neurological injuries and a decrease in memory. Chronic asthma often appears in childhood, but the extent to which memory problems in children are still sufficiently unknown. Although the pathological physiology of asthma is completely unclear, asthma is defined as an ongoing inflammatory process that is not only limited to the lungs, but it can extend to the brain, causing neurological infections. The rodent models have shown that asthma causes neurological injuries in the strongholds, which are part of the brain characterized by the high sensitivity to neurological inflammatory reactions. Breathing problems can lead to hypoxia in the brain, which can lead to damage to the strongholds, and asthma models in rodents have shown a decrease in memory in the tasks that require the safety of strongholds. The incidence of asthma reaches its peak between the ages of 4 and 12 years, but the information on the performance of memory in children with asthma is so far few. Previous studies have shown that children with asthma receiving high doses of cortisone are poor in verbal memory compared to children receiving fewer doses, but the absence of a group compared to children with asthma makes it difficult to end a clear relationship between asthma and memory capabilities. An asthma and poor memory disease indicated that other studies on attention, executive functions, visual memory and working memory, but these studies did not take into account the effect of social and economic factors that could affect the possibility of asthma and cognitive problems. The researchers say it is essential to understand whether asthma is associated with memory problems, or other cognitive problems in childhood, taking into account the influential changes, given the importance of cognitive abilities in academic performance and future business opportunities. Research on other medical conditions – such as type 1 diabetes – has shown that children with complications at an early age can be especially vulnerable to cognitive problems. The length of the disease can also play an important role, as the duration of asthma is related to changes in the structure and functions of the brain in adults. As a result, the researchers accepted that children with asthma at an early age probably have more problems with memory. In their study, researchers used longitudinal data from the study of brain development and the awareness of adolescents in the United States to determine if children with asthma show less memory performance. The cross memory, which is the ability to remember events in certain details, requires the integrity of the strongholds, which are also memory operations aimed at rodent models. This ability improves a lot during childhood. Therefore, children with an early beginning of asthma are expected to appear more slowly in the growth of memory over time, compared to children who later have asthma, and are compared to a group of children who are not asthma. Children of different breeds and based on the results that appeared in adults, the researchers accepted that asthma is linked to low performance in tasks that measure the executive functions and velocity of treatment, and therefore, children with asthma are expected to show less performance in long -term symptoms and executive functions, regardless of timing and duration of the injury, compared to a group compared to a group. The long -term cross memory is a kind of memory associated with storage, and remembers the personal events and experiences that occur with the individual over a long period of time. This memory includes mentioning the details of past events, such as the places and times of their appearance, the people present, the feelings and ideas present at that moment. 474 Children are included in the longitudinal analysis of this study, and they are divided into two groups according to the age of the occurrence of childhood asthma. The first group has 135 children with an early start to develop asthma, including 56% male, and the ethnic distribution included 28% of black children, 21% of Latin or Spanish origin, and 48% of the eggs. As for the second group, in which the symptoms of asthma began at a relatively late age, it included 102 children with an average age of 9.88 years, of which 53% are women, and children are ethnically distributed by 17% of blacks, 19% of Latin or Spaniards, and 63% of eggs. The two groups were compared to a third group consisting of 237 children who are not asthma, with an average age of 9.89 years and an ethnic distribution which includes 15% of blacks, 20% of the Latinists and 62% of eggs. The cognitive development for children The results showed that children who suffered from asthma early in their childhood were a decrease in the improvement rate in length -memory compared to the group of children who are not asthma, suggesting that the beginning of asthma at an early age can affect the cognitive development of children over time, especially with regard to memory. In the tomography analysis, the study included 2062 children, including 1031 children with asthma at an average age of 11.99 years (the male percentage was 57%, where children were distributed ethnically by 27% of blacks, 18% of the Latinists and 54% of eggs. include the Latin and 59% of the eggs.
