Mom's Worrying Linked to Kid's Asthma (CME/CE)
Adolescents with asthma reported worse symptoms of breathlessness when they had anxious mothers, and the link may have more to do with genes than environment, researchers suggested.
Findings from a Swedish twin study shows that maternal anxiety was significantly associated with adolescent asthma (odds ratio 2.02, 95% CI 1.15-3.55) reported by the mother on one anxiety measure, and it was significantly associated with breathlessness (OR 1.74, CI 1.04-2.91) reported by the adolescent on several anxiety measures, according to Catarina Almqvist, MD, PhD, from the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, and colleagues.
