Does asthma correlate with other abnormalities?

Yes.

Asthma can be induced by incorrect posture since the concaved chest and frontally placed shoulders cause decreased lung capacity. The smaller capacity will use fewer bronchi, hence the lung’s condition further deteriorates. Shallow breathing is typical of asthmatic patients because the irritation in the lung becomes less noticeable. It is also true that frequent cough attacks can force the asthmatic child to hunch. Either way, the asthmatic child lacks the urge to exercise, and does not enjoy participating in athletic activities.
