Anxiety risk higher in kids with asthma: study
Clinicians should focus interventions on children entering puberty, say researchers.
Preschoolers with asthma could benefit from early psychological screening and interventions to reduce their risk of anxiety during adolescence, according to Australian researchers.
The advice follows their study results showing that children who have asthma are almost twice as likely to develop anxiety between the ages of six and 15 compared with those without the condition.
