Our objective was to study the comorbidity of asthma and obesity among foreign-born Asian Americans, by subgroups. Public data from the California Health Interview Survey, 2001-2011, were analyzed by using independent logistic regressions, yielding the association between asthma and obesity (Asian and standard cutoffs for body mass index [BMIs]) of 19,841 Asian American immigrant respondents. Chinese, Filipino, South Asian, and Japanese immigrants had a positive association between lifetime asthma and obesity, whereas among Korean immigrants, a positive association was found between lifetime asthma and overweight status (standard BMI cutoffs). Routine screening for this comorbidity is warranted among immigrant Asian Americans.
我们的目标是按亚组研究出生在国外的亚裔美国人中哮喘与肥胖的共病情况。利用独立逻辑回归分析了2001年至2011年加利福尼亚健康访谈调查的公共数据,得出了19841名亚裔美国移民受访者中哮喘与肥胖(亚洲人及体重指数[BMI]的标准临界值)之间的关联。华裔、菲律宾裔、南亚裔和日裔移民的终生哮喘与肥胖之间存在正相关,而在韩裔移民中,终生哮喘与超重状态(标准BMI临界值)之间存在正相关。有必要对亚裔美国移民进行这种共病的常规筛查。
