In an ATS Blue Journal brief report, Dr. Franziska Rosser shows that annual PM2.5 levels are associated with reduced change/growth in FEV1+ FEV1/FVC in a 48-week study of youth with mild persistent asthma treated with low-dose inhaled corticosteroids. 10.1164/rccm.202303-0371LE

In a study of 87,791 British adults e-published in Annals of the ATS, Yueh-Ying Han, PhD MS shows that adulthood adverse events (AAE) and child maltreatment are independently associated with current asthma, independent of smoking. ATS BSHSR ATS EOPH ATSPeds doi.org/10.1513/Annals…
