Article Synopsis
- Depression and anxiety in caregivers and children significantly impact the quality of life (QoL) for children with asthma, particularly ages 7 to 17.
- A study involving 205 children with asthma found that while demographics accounted for a small portion of QoL variance, both asthma control and mental health symptoms were more influential.
- Specifically, child anxiety was the strongest predictor of asthma-related QoL, highlighting the necessity to address both emotional health and asthma management for improving overall quality of life in these children.
