Study links childhood asthma, especially early-onset, to memory issues that may raise dementia risk.

A recent study links asthma in children to memory problems, especially in those with early-onset asthma. Researchers found that children with asthma scored lower on memory tests compared to their non-asthmatic peers. The study suggests that these memory deficits could have long-term effects, potentially increasing the risk of dementia later in life. The exact cause is unclear, but it may be due to inflammation or oxygen supply disruptions during asthma attacks.
