Babies who are sensitive to dust mites have a higher risk of developing asthma when they are twelve years, new research suggests.
The study included 620 Australian children with a family history of allergy who were followed from birth to age twelve. The children were tested for skin prick six months, one year and two years of age to assess the sensitivity to different allergens, and a test of asthma at age twelve.
Asthma was diagnosed in 75 percent of children who tested positive for sensitivity to dust mites as babies, compared to 36 percent of children who had no sensitivity to dust mites.
"Our study did not show that dust mites provoke asthma, but highlighted a strong relationship between sensitivity and a more severe wheezing and asthma," he said in a news release from the University of Melbourne lead author, Dr. Caroline Lodge, Faculty of population health at the university.
Identify groups of children at high risk may help researchers learn more about the development of asthma and find ways to prevent it, he said.
