Children at nursery less likely to get asthma, reports The Daily Telegraph. Spending time with other youngsters from the age of six to 12 months can cut the chance of developing the condition by 70%, the newspaper says.
The study underlying this story offers some evidence that attendance at daycare may provide some protection against persistent wheeze (wheeze that is present in children before three years and still present in the 12 months prior to age five years). However, wheeze can occur for many reasons in childhood and it does not necessarily mean the child has asthma. Certainly more work will be needed to ascertain whether attendance at nursery (which is likely to mean exposure to more infections) itself is protective, or whether the population of children who attend nursery during their childhood is intrinsically different to the population which does not.
Where did the story come from? Dr Nicolaos Nicolaou and colleagues from the University of Manchester carried out this research
ScienceDaily (Sep. 16, 2008) Researchers at National Jewish Health have shown that glucocorticoids, the primary controller medication for asthma, are 40 percent less effective in overweight and obese asthma patients than in those of normal weight.
