Article Synopsis
- Changes in land use and climate change are negatively impacting biodiversity, which may lead to increased prevalence of asthma and allergies due to insufficient immune regulation.
- The study performed a systematic review of 2,419 studies to explore how biodiversity, both inner (gut, skin, airways) and outer (environmental factors), relates to asthma and allergic conditions.
- Findings show that outer biodiversity may offer some protective effects against asthma and allergies, while the impact of inner biodiversity remains unclear, indicating a need for further research, particularly on outer biodiversity.
