Investigating the relationship between asthma symptoms and severity with television watching, computer use, and internet access among 13-14-year-old children in Yazd, Iran
This study finds a significant association between media usage and asthma symptoms and severity. However, this association is influenced by lifestyle factors such as physical activity, obesity, diet, and exposure to indoor allergens. Further research is needed to better understand the complex interplay between media usage and asthma, considering the impact of these factors.
