New York: Diet habits established earlier in life may be linked to the development of asthma in the future as a new study has found that substances present in cooked meat are linked to more wheels in children.
Their study, published in the journal Thorax, highlights pro-inflammatory compounds called positive glycation end products (AGEs) as an example of early dietary risk factors that can have a widespread impact on health clinical and public for airway inflammatory disease prevention.
“Research identifies dietary factors that affect respiratory symptoms in children is important, as these risks are reversible and can help guide health recommendations,” said study lead author Sonali Bose, Deputy Professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City.
“Our findings hope to inform future long-term studies to further investigate whether these specific dietary components play a role in childhood airway disease such as asthma.”
The researchers examined 4,388 children between the ages of 2 and 17 from the 2003-2006 Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), a program of the National Center for Health Statistics, which is part of the U.S. Centers for Control and Nutrition. Disease Prevention.
It is designed to assess the health and nutritional status of adults and children in the United States through interviews and physical examinations.
The researchers used NHANES survey data to evaluate associations between positive glycation end results of diet and frequency of meat consumption, and respiratory symptoms.
They found that positive glycation end results were more associated with more wheels, significantly including wheels that disturbed sleep and exercise, and required medication.
Similarly, higher intake of unhealthy meat was associated with sleep deprivation and disturbed wheels that required medication.
“We found that higher consumption of dietary glycation end products, which are largely due to the ingestion of unhealthy meat, was associated with an increased risk of overeating. wheezing in children, regardless of overall diet quality or asthma – based diagnosis, “said Jing Gennie Wang, lead author of the study, and a former colleague of Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
