Babies who rapidly gain weight in the first three months of life are more likely to develop asthma, a study has found. Researchers at the University of Bristol analysed information on height, weight and asthma symptoms in almost 10,000 people from birth to age 17. They found rapid weight gain from birth to age three months was consistently associated with asthma in eight and 17-year-olds.
Asthma affects 1.1 million children and 4.3 million adults in the UK
