Stress-related ageing linked to asthma, Queen's University research finds

Approximately, 890,000 people in Ireland experience asthma at some stage of their life and around 380,000 currently have the conditio.

Signs of faster stress-related ageing have been found among people with asthma.

Researchers from Queen’s University Belfast used allostatic load, a measure of early ageing, or wear and tear, in adults with and without asthma.
