Broncoespasmo induzido pelo exercício em adolescentes asmáticos obesos e não-obesos

Abstract: OBJETIVO: Avaliar e comparar a frequência e intensidade do broncoespasmo induzido pelo exercício (BIE) em adolescentes asmáticos obesos e não-obesos. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal e descritivo realizado com 39 adolescentes de ambos os sexos, com idade entre dez e 16 anos, divididos em dois grupos conforme o histórico clínico de asma e/ou rinite alérgica e o índice de massa corporal: asmáticos obesos (n=18); asmáticos não-obesos (n=21). Utilizou-se o teste de broncoprovocação com exercício para a avaliação do BIE… Show more

“… 2 The presence of excess weight can contribute to increased severity of EIB in asthmatics. 3 The excessive accumulation of fatty tissue in the central region can change the pulmonary mechanics and airway inflammatory response, leading to increased contractility and responsiveness of bronchial smooth muscle 4 and thus limit the practice of physical exercises 5 as therapy for asthma 6 and obesity. 7 …”
