Children with asthma, aged between 2 and 18, were found to be significantly shorter than their healthy counterparts.
Clinical Study Chamomile
In the methodology of this case-control study, 150 children with asthma, aged 2-18 years, were compared to a carefully matched control group of 300 healthy children. Both groups had their height, weight, and body mass index measured through standard methods. Data for these anthropometric indices were processed and analysed using designated software and statistical tests, excluding any height, weight and BMI ranges that were deemed 'normal' or 'abnormal'.
In discussing the results, it was observed that asthmatic children were significantly shorter than the control group. Interestingly, there were no observed differences in weight and body mass index between the two groups. This potentially suggests that the presence of asthma may not have a significant growth-altering effect, or this phenomenon might be attributed to effective disease management among the asthma group.
