Evidence linking psychological stress to asthma continues to grow with our increased understanding of the natural history of asthma and the neurobiology underlying stress vulnerability.1 - 3 Stress exposure during infancy and early childhood may exert particularly robust effects on the physiological systems that respond to stress.4 - 6 Evidence from animal and human studies strongly suggests that early life adversity shapes stress neurobiology, 7 resulting in disturbed regulation of endocrine and autonomic processes (eg, hypothalamic - pituitary - adrenal [HPA] axis, sympathetic - adrenal - medullary system).
