Association between dietary carotenoid intakes and the risk of asthma in children and adolescents: evidence from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007-2016.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In recent years, the incidence of asthma in children has been increasing. As a chronic disease, in addition to drug treatment, dietary management is also important.
