THURSDAY, Aug. 31, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- When factoring in why children get asthma, a childs neighborhood may be important to consider.

Researchers discovered that children who were raised in neighborhoods offering higher opportunities and lower vulnerabilities during their early years had a reduced likelihood of developing asthma.

Living in a neighborhood with better access to resources such as high-quality housing, healthy food, parks and playgrounds, and clean air during the early stages of childhood was associated with lower asthma incidence in a new study from NIH's Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program.

Residence in neighborhoods with higher opportunity or lower vulnerability in early life may be associated with a decreased risk of pediatric asthma, according to a new study led by researchers at the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute.
