Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:28:42 GMT

(CNN) — Según un nuevo estudio, una mala calidad y cantidad de sueño puede aumentar el riesgo de padecer asma.Investigaciones anteriores ya habían demostrado que el asma tiende a provocar problemas de sueño, pero los investigadores querían saber si la asociación funcionaba en sentido contrario; es decir, si la forma en que alguien dormía influía en su probabilidad de desarrollar asma, señala el estudio, publicado este lunes en la revista BMJ Open Respiratory Research.“Siempre hemos sabido que existe cierta relación entre el asma y el sueño, pero la mayoría de los estudios se habían realizado sobre la presencia de apnea obstructiva del sueño”, señaló la Dra.

No participó en el último estudio.Para investigar, los científicos examinaron los datos de una cohorte de 2006 a 2010 con más de 450.000 personas en el Biob...
