Estimating the joint association of adverse childhood experiences and asthma with subsequent depressive symptoms: a marginal structural modelling approach
Conclusions
These findings suggest that asthma amplifies the risk of depressive symptoms associated with ACEs.
Clinical implications
Prevention and treatment of asthma, along with establishing preventive environments and services against ACEs, are effective in mitigating the potential burden of ACEs on mental health.
