British research revealed that children who are born before the completion of development in the womb of the mother and placed in incubators during the first weeks of birth to complete their development at risk of chest diseases.
Research has shown that low birth weight are more susceptible to lung disease more than others.
On the other hand to link research for the first time between the speed of weight gain in children during the weeks following the birth and the weakening of the growth of the lungs.
low birth weight are more susceptible to lung disease more than others.
The study was published by the University of Sawthahampton in the journal "American Journal", specializing in respiratory diseases and critical situations.
Chest problems
The researchers measured the study and lung function in 131 healthy children between the ages of 14 weeks and looked at the same time the speed of weight gain in these children.
Some of these children weighing less than normal at birth.
The study revealed that lung function in children who were less weight if they are born and those who increased their weight rapidly during the first weeks of Uladthm was weaker from the lungs of normal children.
Said Dr. Jean Lucas, Professor, Faculty of Medicine, University of Southampton, who led the study: "It seems that the different type of nutrition is not responsible for this effect."
The evidence suggests that the functions of the lungs of children who grow at a faster rate after the birth of this most vulnerable and increase the odds of children who completed their growth in the nursery.
And promote the study guide that "build the foundations for a healthier future may be determined from the stage of the fetus in the womb."
Said Dr. Matt Halsort of the Foundation for Asthma UK, said: "No it comes to their development quickly but the problem is that he was required to be present for the uterus certain degree of growth."
"This means that the lungs of children who were not born yet did not reach the normal size, which contributes to the lack of functions."
At the same time said study co-author John Warner: "We believe that impaired lung function in these children may have implications for the sensitivity of the device for future respiratory disease, especially shortness of breath."
The researchers plan to follow the children through their lives in the future to verify this hypothesis.
A spokesman for the British Institute of lungs: "We know since the breathing problems facing the children are not fully formed growth and young children and we are pleased to participate in this project but we believe that there is a need for further research to explore the relationship between lung disease in children and the risk of further lung problems in the future. "
Says Dr. Halsort said: "The results of this study indicate that early stage in the life essential to the growth of the lungs of the child and the impact of this on the risk of problems such as shortness of breath."
