Asthma risk research focuses on understanding the factors and mechanisms that contribute to an individual's likelihood of developing asthma. This includes studying genetics, environmental exposures, lifestyle factors, and immune system responses that may increase the risk of developing asthma. Researchers also investigate how these risk factors interact with each other to influence asthma development, as well as methods for identifying and predicting individuals who are at higher risk for developing asthma. Ultimately, the goal of this research is to develop targeted prevention strategies and interventions to reduce the burden of asthma in affected populations.
