The association between early-life respiratory infections and childhood asthma: a meta-analytic perspective

Research shows that early-life exposure to viral infections and allergens and environmental pollutants and infant clinical factors establishes strong links to the development of respiratory disorders and allergic diseases in children. The nutritional and probiotic treatments produced restricted and unstable results which demonstrate the requirement for specific preventive methods that should be implemented during early life.

Abstract

Research shows that early-life exposure to viral infections and allergens and environmental pollutants and infant clinical factors establishes strong links to the development of respiratory disorders and allergic diseases in children. The nutritional and probiotic treatments produced restricted and unstable results which demonstrate the requirement for specific preventive methods that should be implemented during early life.
