Overview

Systematic review and meta-analysis found war-related psychological trauma significantly increases asthma prevalence.

Key Points

  • Wartime events increase asthma prevalence due to environmental hazards and psychological trauma.
  • Meta-analysis showed post-traumatic stress disorder has the strongest association with asthma outcomes (OR = 2.25).
  • Subgroup analysis revealed environmental exposures contribute to increased asthma risk when psychological factors are considered.
  • Management of asthma in individuals exposed to wartime trauma is critical for improving health outcomes.
