MedPage Today (11/11, Putka ) reports, “Childhood asthma was associated with difficulties with memory and other cognitive functions, according to an observational cohort study.” In an “analysis, children with earlier onset of asthma had lower rates of memory improvements as measured by the Picture Sequence Memory Test compared with those without asthma.” Researchers found that “when children with later-onset asthma were compared with the kids without asthma, no such difference was observed.” The findings were published in JAMA Network Open.
