The researchers found that children with asthma performed worse in memory tasks and executive functions than children without asthma, with those who developed the disease early sc

Asthma is associated with memory problems in children, a new study has found. Further, the early onset of asthma might worsen potential memory deficits in kids, researchers found. This is the first study to make such a connection, researchers said.

A recent study highlights a connection between asthma and memory difficulties in children, with earlier onset linked to slower memory development over time.

Because children with earlier asthma onset also experience asthma for longer, "prolonged inflammation due to longer duration may result in detrimental neuroinflammatory responses, which may in turn disrupt neural processing and manifest in the form of cognitive dysfunction," they added.

Youngsters with the condition performed worse at memory tasks in a study that followed 500 participants for two years

Asthma is associated with memory difficulties in children, and early onset of asthma may exacerbate memory deficits, according to a new study from the University of California, Davis. The study, the first of its kind to connect asthma to memory deficits in children,

Asthma is associated with memory difficulties in children, according to a study published online Nov. 11 in JAMA Network Open. Nicholas J. Christopher-Hayes, from the University of California Davis, and colleagues examined whether childhood asthma is associated with lower memory abilities in children using observational data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study,

We are becoming increasingly aware that chronic diseases, not only asthma but also diabetes, heart disease and others may place children at increased risk of cognitive difficul
