Doctors have found gender differences in the development of childhood asthma
Boys are more likely to develop asthma in childhood than girls, but during adolescence scope of asthma among them is reduced, while girls can experience a protracted illness.
During the nine years of immunology at Harvard University / USA / watched thousands of symptoms of asthma among children 5-12 years of age and gender differences observed in the formation and progression of asthma. It was noted that 16 years less than most boys respond to allergens and faster to get rid of respiratory problems, while adolescent girls to develop asthma in the most severe forms.
Physicians were zaintrigovany, finding the difference in the mechanism and severity of asthma in children, which manifests itself during the transition in early puberty. Presumably these changes relate to the development of various immune system: how to say specialists in boys in childhood immunity more sensitive to external irritant, but by adolescence respiratory allergens are less active on the organism. We observed an inverse picture of the girl child. In the near future doctors to determine whether the association depends on nutrition, lifestyle or genetic factors.
