Bronchitis (chronic)
Some causative factors
- Pollution
- Smoking
- Vitamin C deficiency
- Zinc deficiency
Dietary factors were analyzed in a group of sufferers from respiratory
symptoms. It was found that a low intake of vitamin C and zinc and a high
intake of sodium correlated with a higher incidence of bronchitis and
wheezing. Schwatz J et al: Dietary factors and their relation to
respiratory symptoms. The Second National Health and Nutrition Examination
Survey. Am J Epidemio 132(1):67-76, 1990.
