By Ronnie Cohen NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - People with asthma-related breathing problems may be at increased risk for bone loss, according to a new study. The study examined the records of more than 7,000 adults in Seoul, Korea, and found those with a certain characteristic of asthma had significantly lower bone density in a region of their spine than those without asthma symptoms. The characteristic, called airway hyperresponsiveness, means the airways in the lungs are particularly sensitive, and it doesn't take much to trigger an asthma attack. However, both men and women with airway hyperresponsiveness were still in the normal range for overall bone density, on average. via Health News Headlines - Yahoo News Read More Here..
