City living increases risk of respiratory infections in young children: Study
New Delhi, Sep 11 (PTI) Young children growing up in towns and cities suffer from more respiratory infections than those who live in rural areas, according to a study.
Another research, published in the journal Pediatric Pulmonology, shows that factors such as attending day care, living in a damp home or near dense traffic increase the risk of chest infections in young children, while breastfeeding reduces the risk.
Both the studies were presented on Monday at the European Respiratory Society International Congress in Milan, Italy.
