Description
Many toddlers wheeze, yet only some go on to have asthma as teens. Iso Precious Oloyede and co-authors ask whether a urine marker at age three can help predict that path in a 2024 study.
The marker signals activity of a white blood cell type tied to allergy. It was measured in more than nine hundred children from a birth cohort, who were followed to age 16. Children whose wheeze lasted had higher marker levels at age three. The marker alone predicted later asthma about as well as allergy testing did. A model that combined sex, the marker, allergy status, and wheeze did best. Such early clues could help target watchful care.
