A study that will be published next month in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine suggests that babies born in fall, before the flu season are more susceptible to suffering from childhood asthma than other babies, born in other months of the year.

There is no cure for asthma, as it is a chronic condition, but, fortunately, it can be treated with regular use of medication. If caught early, the condition can’t inflict a lot of damage and this is why doctors are struggling to find out exactly what are the factors that trigger the sickness.

The study was conducted by analyzing thousand of medical files of children and the results clearly point to the fact that babies born in fall are more likely to suffer from asthma. Researchers believe that this happens because fall is just before the flu and cold season, two affections babies are very likely to get.

Doctors advise couples to try and not conceive during autumn as their latest research indicates that children born in this particular time of the year have a 30% chance to suffer from childhood asthma. Other factors that may trigger asthma are smoking and stress.

Scientists are still trying to find an efficient method for asthma prevention and any new information brought in this domain are a blessing. Lately, medicine has seen some impressing breakthrough, as doctors started implementing new techniques and information in their practical work. Currently, the world faces an epidemic of diabetes and heart conditions, which are often triggered by excessive lifestyles.
