The size of the fetus associated with the potential of children suffering from asthma when she grows up. It disclosed a number of researchers from the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, after examining hundreds of participants in the country.
The researchers examined the relationship between size and growth of babies in the womb with the possibility of children suffer from some diseases, like asthma, allergies, and fever during infancy.
The researchers examined the relationship between size and growth of babies in the womb with the possibility of children suffer from some diseases, like asthma, allergies, and fever during infancy.
Results were obtained after the team measured the fetus than 1,500 pregnant women in Aberdeen Maternity Hospital during the first and second trimester. Research is also done when the baby was 10 weeks then 20 weeks to 10 years old.
A total of 927 families filled out questionnaires about the child's breathing. A total of 449 among children underwent lung function tests and skin in order to identify an allergy to grass, eggs, dust mites, and cat.
Results showed children aged 5 and 10 years who suffer from asthma, when the embryo they have a size of 5 mm or 10 percent smaller than the average 10-week-old embryo.
"This study reveals that the fetus is smaller than the current average age of 10 weeks and increase in size quite slow during pregnancy were five times more likely to have asthma," said study leader Steve Turner.
In addition, a fetus whose size exceeds the average at 10 weeks, but then slowed down so that they become smaller than the average in the next stage is more likely to withstand fever.
