An investigation into the relationship between physical activity and asthma in children

重要的是要了解身体活动是否可以预防哮喘，或者哮喘是否会阻止儿童进行身体活动，因为这将影响我们对儿童哮喘和儿童活动管理的决定。这项工作使用了两项针对澳大利亚儿童的研究数据，以梳理出在试图增加身体活动水平和改善儿童和青少年呼吸健康时，哪条路径是最重要的目标路径。

It is important to understand whether physical activity can prevent asthma, or whether asthma prevents children from being physically active, as this will influence the decisions we make with regard to the management of both childhood asthma and childhood activity. This work uses data from two studies of Australian children to tease out which path is the most important path to target when trying to increase physical activity levels and improve the respiratory health of children and adolescents.
