Obesity-associated asthma is a unique phenotype which tends to be more severe and resistant to conventional asthma treatments. Differences in respiratory mechanics, inflammation, comorbidities, the microbiome, and susceptibility to air pollution may be contributory factors.
4 cze 2015 · Obesity is the most common asthma co-morbidity; it has been associated with increased risk for asthma exacerbations, worse respiratory symptoms and poor control.
The relationship between obesity and asthma is complex and bidirectional. Obesity is associated with increased incidence of asthma that may be dose-dependent and higher risk of severe asthma and asthma-related hospitalizations [1,3].
12 maj 2023 · Obesity has been associated with increased risk of adult asthma, however, not all studies have found a clear association between overweight and the incidence of asthma, and data on...

4 cze 2015 · Implications of obesity and the relationship with asthma. Obese asthmatics have multiple consequences related to excess adipose tissue, including mechanical or physiologic effects on lung function and the airways as well as changes in the immune response and metabolic effects.
10 wrz 2019 · Studies have confirmed a bi-directional relationship between obesity and asthma. Pathophysiological factors implicated include genetic risk, the effect of diet and microbiome, and obesity-related cytokines.
Increasingly, evidence suggests that obesity and asthma are physiologically linked through a chronic inflammatory response. Increased cost through more frequent hospitalizations and reduced quality of life lead to a need to address obesity during asthma management.
