Clean air breakthrough: could air purifiers be a lifeline for overweight kids with asthma?
NCT ID NCT02763917
Summary
This study investigates whether using air purifiers at home helps overweight children with asthma more than it helps lean children with asthma. Researchers from Johns Hopkins University enrolled 198 children with persistent asthma, giving half real air purifiers and half fake ones to compare results. The goal is to see if reducing indoor air pollution is a more effective asthma management strategy for overweight kids.
