peak flow and childhood asthma
Peak flow is in fact related to height but this fact is sometimes missed by occupational physicians. Asthma in childhood is common in fact the quoted figure is 10 to 15 per 100 children. The vast majority either grow out of their symptoms or are well controlled by inhalers. Can the CAA seriously stop that number of people becoming pilots?- I doubt it. Asthma starting as an adult is usually more significant and people do not grow out of it. It seems incredibly common in top athletes and I have no reason why that is!!!!
