A new study hints at a possible link between adults' poor mental health and their odds of
having asthma.
The researchers determined this was a dose-response relationship, as increases in the number of days of poor mental health correlated with increased risk of asthma.
Participants reporting three weeks or greater of poor mental health had a greater risk of asthma (relative risk ratio, 2.75).
However, the investigators did not find a consistent pattern in the relationship between former asthma and poor mental health.
people reporting one to two weeks of poor mental health in the previous month were 49% more likely to report currently having asthma.
People who reported two to three weeks of poor mental health in the previous month were 67% more likely to report currently having asthma, and people reporting three or more weeks of poor mental health in the previous month were more than twice as likely to report currently having asthma.
. "Future research is needed to determine the causal and/or physiologic relationship between asthma and mental health symptoms,".
