ارتباط بین آزار و اذیت کودکتان اثبات شده، آسم و عملکرد ریه: یک تحقیق آینده نگر

Childhood maltreatment, including emotional abuse, was associated with lifetime ever asthma. This was in contrast to the absence of an association with objective measures of lung function. More research is indicated on the effect of childhood maltreatment on lung function using objective measures. In the meantime, there should be a greater awareness of the potential impact of childhood maltreatment on the potential to develop asthma, as well as of the possibility that asthma in adulthood may precede childhood maltreatment.
