In the context of low adversity, children who have a high reactivity to stress are actually more social and successful academically than their peers who have
a low reactivity to stress.21 However, in the context of high adversity, children who have high reactivity to stress fair worse than their peers who have low reactivity to stress.21 Hence, the consequences of high stress reactivity are contextual, with high reactivity promoting adaptive responses in the context of low adversity, but maladaptive responses in the context of high adversity.

lower vitamin A levels than children without asthma, and the degree of vitamin A deficiency they exhibit is directly proportional to the severity of their asthma.37, 38 In cell experiments, vitamin A eliminates the response of bronchial smooth muscle cells to growth factors that characterizes the asthmatic reaction39 and suppresses the activity of mast cells, which are involved in asthmatic or other reactions mediated by histamine or other inflammatory chemical messengers called leukotrienes.40 Consistent with studies in isolated cells, vitamin A deficiency causes asthmatic bronchial hyper -
