BACKGROUND
Observational studies suggest that obesity is associated with increased risk of asthma. However, it is unknown whether this could be explained by wheezing. We tested the hypothesis that high body mass index (BMI) observationally and genetically is associated with high risk of wheezing and
Overweight or obesity is increasingly recognized as a possible risk factor for childhood asthma.We aimed to meta-analyse the association between overweight or obesity and the risk for childhood asthma and wheeze and meanwhile explore potential causes of BACKGROUND
Urban minority populations experience increased rates of obesity and increased asthma prevalence and severity. Objective. The authors sought to determine whether obesity, as measured by body mass index (BMI), was associated with asthma quality of life or asthma-related emergency
Asthma and obesity, which have reached epidemic proportions, impact urban youth to a great extent. Findings are inconsistent regarding their relationship; no studies have considered asthma management. We explored the association of obesity and asthma-related morbidity, asthma-related health care
To determine the relation between obesity and new-onset asthma among school-age children, the authors examined longitudinal data from 3,792 participants in the Children's Health Study (Southern California) who were asthma-free at enrollment. New cases of physician-diagnosed asthma, height, weight,
Asthma and obesity have a considerable impact on public health and their prevalence has increased in recent years. Numerous studies have linked these disorders. Most prospective studies show that obesity is a risk factor for asthma and have found a positive correlation between baseline body mass
OBJECTIVE
To investigate quality of life (QoL) among obese asthmatic children and elucidate its association with lung function.
METHODS
Preadolescent inner-city children with obesity, asthma, both, or neither completed the Pediatric Quality of Life 4.0 (PedsQL) and Asthma Quality of Life
BACKGROUND
Severe asthma is increasingly being recognized as an important public health issue. Obesity has been identified as a risk factor for poor asthma control and for worsening of asthma severity. However, most studies investigating obese patients with asthma have been performed in Western
OBJECTIVE
Mucus production and hypersecretion are important pathophysiological features of asthma. Airway mucus secretion is more serious in obese asthma. Therefore, it is of great significance to elucidate the mechanism of asthma airway mucus high secretion in improving the control of asthma and
Epidemiological studies associate obesity with onset of asthma, especially in obese children, suggesting obesity as the risk factor for asthma. Obesity-induced chronic inflammation has been implicated in the lung inflammation, yet specific mediators and mechanisms are lacking. Obesity is associated
To investigate the possibility of gender specificity for the effect of body mass index (BMI) on development of asthma, the authors used the longitudinal data from the first and second cycles of the National Population Health Survey, conducted in Canada in 1994-1995 and 1996-1997, respectively. Data
Little is known about rates and predictors of remission of childhood asthma after the onset of puberty. We used data collected at ages 6, 8, 11, 13, and 16 years from the Tucson Children's Respiratory Study, a population-based birth cohort. The onset of puberty was defined as the age of appearance
Asthma and obesity have a considerable impact on public health and their prevalence is increasing. Obesity is a known risk factor for asthma and can make it more difficult to control. Omalizumab is recommended in patients with severe allergic persistent asthma. The aim of this study BACKGROUND
Both asthma and obesity often occur in the same individual. Each increases the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) with systemic inflammation likely playing a vital role. We examined the independent and synergistic associations of asthma and obesity with systemic inflammation using
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the relationship between asthma and overweight in adolescents.
METHODS
Cross-sectional study including 13-14-year-old adolescents in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Asthma was defined according to the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC). Body Mass Index
