Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Caroline Jane Lodge"
Recent research by Caroline Jane Lodge explores the relationships between early childhood health indicators, such as body mass index (BMI) and wheeze, and their effects on asthma and allergic conditions later in life.
Studies indicate that rapid increases in BMI during infancy are linked to adolescent asthma risk and lung function, while transient childhood wheeze is associated with lower rates of atopy in adolescence.
Additionally, her work critiques the validity of using self-reported history of eczema and hay fever as measures of atopy in asthma patients, and questions the efficacy of hydrolyzed infant formulas in preventing allergic diseases.
