Además, son más propensos a desarrollar esta enfermedad en la adolescencia, y a sufrir un descenso de la misma durante los años de la pubertad. Esto parece indicar que hay un mecanismo desconocido en el desarrollo del asma según revela un estudio realizado por la Universidad de Harvard, sobre una muestra de 1.041 niños con asma moderado, de entre cinco y doce años, durante un periodo de nueve años. La investigación se ha publicado en el último número de American Journal Of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.</p><p><a href="http://health2.info/story.php?id=5158"><img src="http://health2.info/backend/vote_com_img.php?id=5158" alt="votes" width="200" height="16"/></a></p><p>&#187;&nbsp;<a href='http://www.diariomedico.com/edicion/diario_medico/especialidades/neumologia/es/desarrollo/1155543.html'>original story</a></p>]]></description>
