Washington: A big UK Biobank research published in the open-access journal BMJ Open Respiratory Research reveals that poor quality sleep may increase a person's genetic predisposition to asthma, potentially doubling their chance of being diagnosed with the illness. A healthy sleep pattern seems to be linked to a lower risk of asthma, prompting the researchers to suggest that spotting and treating sleep disorders early on might lessen the risks, irrespective of genetic predisposition.
