Synopsis

Asthma and reproductive factors are associated. Hormonal changes occurring during women’s reproductive life stages can influence the risk of asthma development. Asthma in turn has been linked to infertility outcomes. Contradictory evidence indicates these associations remain inconclusive. The study aims to assess the association between age of menarche, number of children, and asthma. The study also aims to examine the association between asthma and miscarriages and how age influences the association.
