ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how weather and environmental factors affect respiratory and allergic diseases in people living in Sanya, China. Specifically, it aims to better understand conditions like asthma, allergic rhinitis (which causes sneezing and a runny nose), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and skin conditions like eczema. The researchers are currently recruiting participants, and they are interested in adults aged 50 to 80 who have these conditions and have moved from northern China, as well as children aged 3 to 12 who live in Sanya.

If you or a family member are considering participating, you should be between 50 and 80 years old and have asthma, allergic rhinitis, or COPD. Children aged 3 to 12 who live in Sanya can also take part. Participants will be asked to agree to the study and answer some questions about their health and experiences. It's important to know that people with other serious lung diseases, like lung cancer or tuberculosis, won't be able to participate. This study could help improve our understanding of how climate and environment impact respiratory health, which could lead to better treatments in the future.
