Description
Jinzhen Ding and co-authors link a simple blood ratio to asthma risk in this 2024 study. The ratio divides the spread of red blood cell sizes by the level of albumin, a blood protein. Both parts shift with inflammation, and asthma is an inflammatory airway disease.
The team mined a national health survey covering more than 54,000 people over two decades. People in the middle ratio group had higher asthma risk than the lowest group, and the top group higher still. The link rose in a straight line, with no bend or plateau. Every subgroup checked told the same story. The authors propose the cheap ratio as an early flag for asthma risk in clinics.
