The study in the June issue of the International Journal of Epidemiology raises questions about the role of stress in the development of this common respiratory condition. "Classic environmental triggers for asthma have been carefully studied, but there is less information on the role of stress in asthma episodes," lead

researcher S.V. Subramanian said in a statement. "The risk posed by domestic violence -- and perhaps other psycho-social factors -- could be as high as some well-known environmental risk factors such as smoking." The study of households in India found that women who had experienced domestic violence in the past year had a 37 percent increased risk of asthma. For women who had not experienced domestic violence themselves but lived in a household where a woman had been beaten in the past year, there was a 21 percent increased risk of asthma as compared with women who did not live in such households. Households where a woman experienced domestic violence also increased the risk of reported asthma in children and adult men, the study reported.
