| Infant swimming tied to lung infection, asthma - Reuters UK Posted: 26 Jan 2010 11:01 AM PST By Amy Norton NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Children who start swimming before the age of 2 may be at increased risk of a common infant lung infection, and possibly asthma and respiratory allergies later in life, a new study suggests. The findings, reported in the European Respiratory Journal, add to evidence that exposure to chlorinated pools may affect children's respiratory health -- particularly if they have a family history of asthma or respiratory allergies like hay fever. Experts have suspected that the air quality around pools, particularly indoor ones, is to blame. When the chlorine used to disinfect pools combines with swimmers' sweat, saliva or urine, irritating chlorine byproducts are formed, and over time these chemicals may damage the airways. In the new study, Belgian researchers found that infant swimming -- whether in indoor or outdoor pools -- was linked to a heightened risk of bronchiolitis. Bronchiolitis is an infection of the lungs' small airways, usually caused by the respiratory syncytial virus, that is common in infants. In this study, infant swimmers who developed the infection were also at increased risk of developing asthma or respiratory allergies by kindergarten. "This suggests that chlorinated pool attendance can increase the risk of asthma and respiratory allergies by making the airways more sensitive not only to allergens but also to infectious agents," senior researcher Dr. Alfred Bernard, of Catholic University Louvain in Brussels, told Reuters Health in an email. He did not advise parents to keep their young children away from pools, since it is an "enjoyable" way for kids to be active. Continued... Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.

| C-section may raise kids' asthma risk: Study - Regina Leader-Post Posted: 26 Jan 2010 06:25 PM PST NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Children born by caesarean delivery are at increased risk for developing asthma, particularly if their parents have allergies, according to a report published this month. C-section has been thought to be a risk factor for asthma, although the relationship is controversial, Dr. H. A. Smit, from the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment in Bilthoven, the Netherlands, and colleagues note in the report. Smit's team analyzed data from 2917 children to assess the association between caesarean delivery and asthma or allergies at 8 years of age. Overall, 362, or 12.4 percent, of the children developed asthma at age 8, the researchers report, and 8.5 percent had been delivered by c-section. Overall, children delivered by c-section were 79 percent more likely to develop asthma than children born vaginally, the investigators found. The association between c-section and asthma was even stronger for children born to one or two allergic parents than for children born to parents without allergies. "Our results emphasize the importance of gene-environment interactions on the development of asthma in children," Smit and colleagues conclude. "The increased rate of caesarean section is partly due to maternal demand without medical reason. In this situation, the mother should be informed of the risk of asthma for her child, especially when the parents have a history of allergy or asthma," they wrote. SOURCE: Thorax, February 2009.
