Adverse childhood experiences and risk factors associated with asthma among children in the United States: The intersection of sex and race/ethnicity
Journal of Asthma Apr 20, 2021
Panisch LS, Baiden P, Findley E, et al. - In this cross-sectional study, researchers sought to explore the connection between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and asthma among children, and the interaction between gender and race/ethnicity on asthma. Data from the 2017-2018 National Survey of Children’s Health were obtained. Binary logistic regression was performed on an analytic sample of 49,000 children ages 0-17 years with asthma as the outcome variable and ACEs as the main explanatory variable. The findings of this study show an association between ACEs and asthma with children exposed to ≥3 ACEs more likely to have asthma, highlighting the significance of ACEs' cumulative impact on asthma. In addition, the study discovered that gender and race/ethnicity have an effect on asthma in children. Additional studies are required to understand the mechanisms through which ACEs is linked to asthma among children.
