Abstract:
Childhood asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are the common chronic disorders.Studies have shown that asthma can not only reduce lung function in childhood,but also increase the prevalence rate of COPD in adult life,so childhood asthma is one of the risk factors for COPD.Studies have been conducted abroad for exploring the relationship between childhood asthma and the prevalence of COPD in adult life,in terms of epidemiology,pulmonary function,and molecular mechanisms.This review is to specifically address the relationship between childhood asthma and COPD in adult life.
