BACKGROUND
Asthma is a chronic disease characterized by airway inflammation. Obesity is common and may be associated with asthma.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study is to investigate the possible relationship between asthma control and obesity in children.
METHODS
A nationwide study included 462 children and adolescents, 319 (69%) males, mean age 11.3 years. Asthma control grade, asthma control test, body mass index calculated as percentiles, and lung function were evaluated.
RESULTS
Obesity affected 64 (13.9%) children with asthma. This outcome underlined the high prevalence of obesity in children and adolescents with asthma. On the other hand, obesity did not affect the asthma control as well as lung function.
CONCLUSION
This study showed that body weight did not affect asthma control and lung function in a large population of children and adolescents with asthma followed in Italian tertiary allergy/asthma centers and adequately managed.
背景
哮喘是一种以气道炎症为特征的慢性疾病。肥胖较为常见，且可能与哮喘有关。
目的
本研究旨在探究儿童哮喘控制与肥胖之间的可能关系。
方法
一项全国性研究纳入了 462 名儿童和青少年，其中 319 名（69%）为男性，平均年龄为 11.3 岁。评估了哮喘控制等级、哮喘控制测试、按百分位数计算的体重指数和肺功能。
结果
肥胖影响了 64 名（13.9%）哮喘患儿。这一结果突显了哮喘患儿中肥胖的高患病率。另一方面，肥胖并未影响哮喘控制或肺功能。
结论
本研究表明，在意大利三级过敏/哮喘中心接受充分管理的哮喘患儿和青少年大人群中，体重并未影响哮喘控制和肺功能。
