To determine if asthma control was more difficult to achieve in obese versus non-obese asthmatic children, retrospective analysis was performed on obese and non-obese Los Angeles inner-city children (2 to 18 years of age) with persistent asthma. No difference in time required to achieve control of asthma, ability to maintain control of asthma, baseline pulmonary functions, and number of controllers prescribed was found between the two groups. We conclude that in a Los Angeles inner-city pediatric population, obesity is not a factor in the ability to control asthma.
为了确定肥胖哮喘儿童与非肥胖哮喘儿童相比，哮喘控制是否更难实现，对洛杉矶市中心患有持续性哮喘的肥胖和非肥胖儿童（2至18岁）进行了回顾性分析。两组在实现哮喘控制所需时间、维持哮喘控制的能力、基线肺功能以及所开控制药物数量方面均未发现差异。我们得出结论，在洛杉矶市中心的儿科人群中，肥胖不是控制哮喘能力的一个因素。
