title: Growth and the nutritional status of nonsteroid-dependent asthmatic children.
abstract: Nonsteroid dependent children were evaluated to determine the effect of asthma on growth and nutritional status. No significant differences were observed for the growth of asthmatics and control groups. In addition, dietary records indicated asthmatics met or exceeded the recommended daily allowance for total calories and nutrients.
