The purpose of the present cross-sectional study was to examine the impacts of allergic respiratory diseases on physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviors (SB), and body mass index (BMI) by matching age and gender with those adolescents without allergic respiratory diseases. This present study analyzed data from the 2019 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey (KYRBWS). Among 57,303 Korean adolescents who responded to the survey, the study divided adolescents into three different groups (i.e., general, asthma, and allergic rhinitis group). Asthma and allergic rhinitis groups included adolescents who checked on asthma- or allergic rhinitis-related questions as 'yes' (n = 259, n = 259), but the general group responded to any diseases-related question as 'no' (n = 259). The age and gender of participants among the three groups were matched. The results showed weight and BMI were significantly higher in asthma and allergic rhinitis groups compared to the general group ( < 0.001, < 0.001). Furthermore, age, asthma, and allergic rhinitis were observed to be strong risk factors for predicting obesity in adolescents (BMI, >25.0 kg/m). In addition, this study found allergic respiratory diseases strong impacts on BMI levels because adolescents with ongoing asthma, or allergic rhinitis symptoms were more likely to have the inevitability of further weight gain compared to the general adolescents. Therefore, not only national interest in adolescents with allergic respiratory disease is essential, but PA should be encouraged to prevent and alleviate these diseases due to obesity.
本横断面研究的目的是通过匹配年龄和性别，研究过敏性呼吸道疾病对青少年体力活动（PA）、久坐行为（SB）和体重指数（BMI）的影响。本研究分析了 2019 年韩国青少年风险行为网络调查（KYRBWS）的数据。在回答调查的 57303 名韩国青少年中，研究将青少年分为三组（即一般组、哮喘组和过敏性鼻炎组）。哮喘和过敏性鼻炎组包括回答与哮喘或过敏性鼻炎相关问题为“是”的青少年（n=259，n=259），但一般组对任何疾病相关问题的回答均为“否”（n=259）。三组参与者的年龄和性别相匹配。结果显示，哮喘和过敏性鼻炎组的体重和 BMI 明显高于一般组（<0.001，<0.001）。此外，年龄、哮喘和过敏性鼻炎被认为是预测青少年肥胖的强危险因素（BMI>25.0kg/m）。此外，本研究发现过敏性呼吸道疾病对 BMI 水平有很大影响，因为有持续哮喘或过敏性鼻炎症状的青少年比一般青少年更容易出现体重进一步增加的必然性。因此，不仅国家对患有过敏性呼吸道疾病的青少年的关注至关重要，而且还应该鼓励进行体力活动，以预防和缓解这些疾病导致的肥胖。
