“…After a systematic review about obesity and asthma during childhood, it was concluded that an association between asthma and obesity in the pediatric population was extremely likely. 27 However, in the present study, although, asthma was positively associated with increased BMI Z score, this association disappeared when logistic regression was used to allow for effect of different socio-demographic and clinical factors. Findings of the present research were supported by other study.…”

Objective: This study was conducted to explore the risk factors of increased BMI /Age Z score > + 2 SD in the preschool children. Result: BMI/Age Z score > + 2 SD was found in 19.5% (146 /748) of the children. It was significantly more common among the children from areas with high socio-economic level (OR: 2.434; 95% CI 1.543, 3.841, and p < 0.000). Risk of being obese was significantly higher among the males (OR 0.630; 95% CI 0.431, 0.920, and p < 0.017) compared to females. The increased duration of breast feeding in infancy, was significantly associated with increased BMI/Age Z-score (b= 0.027, p< 0.004). Decreased age of the child was significantly associated with increased BMI/Age Z-score (b= - 0.013, p < 0.004). The children with stunted growth were 6.7 times fold likely to have BMI/Age Z Score > + 2 SD compared to the normal children (OR 6.733; 95% CI 3.799, 10.800, and p < 0.000), after allowing for other factors. No significant association was found between allergic disorders and BMI/Age Z score > + 2 SD.

Currently, it has been established that obesity in children with bronchial asthma leads to a more severe course of the disease, a worse quality of life, and a reduced response to treatment.Purpose. To study the incidence and risk factors of simple obesity in children with bronchial asthma. The aim of the study was to study the incidence and risk factors of simple obesity in children with bronchial asthma.Material and methods. The study included 484 patients aged 7 to 14 years: the main group consisted of 237 patients with atopic bronchial asthma, the comparison group consisted of 247 children without a diagnosis of bronchial asthma.Results. Patients of the main group were obese more often (18.9%) than children of the comparison group (11.3%, p=0.019). During 5 years of bronchial asthma disease, a tendency (p=0.087) was revealed to increase the SDS body mass index indicator in the dynamics of the disease (from 0.32 to 0.45) and the number of patients with III and IV degrees of obesity (from 10.5% to 42.8%, p=0.025). In children of the main group with normal SDS body mass index before the diagnosis of bronchial asthma 5 years after the onset of the disease, in 8.5% of cases there was obesity (p<0.001) and in 23.9% — excess body weight (p<0.001), in children with initial excess body weight, obesity was diagnosed in 28.6% of cases (p=0.048), and among children who were obese at the time of bronchial asthma, 26.3% had an increase in its severity (p=0.023). In patients with bronchial asthma and obesity, according to the bioimpedance analysis findings, a pronounced imbalance between energy intake and its consumption was revealed, and according to the nutrition assessment data — an unbalanced diet, a violation of the diet and a sedentary lifestyle.Conclusion. Simple obesity occurs in 18.9% of school-age children with atopic bronchial asthma, and over the course of 5 years of the disease, the number of patients with obesity increases and its severity progresses. Therefore training of patients and their parents, correction of nutrition and increasing the volume of physical activity are an important component of treatment.

Asthma and obesity: Is asthma a risk factor for obesity?

Many studies have shown that asthma and obesity are linked and affect each other. Although obesity is an important risk factor for asthma, it is controversial whether asthma is a risk factor for obesity vice versa. Recent United States and European cohort studies have published papers reporting that pediatric asthma is a risk factor for obesity in school-aged children or adolescents. Previous studies have shown inconsistent results, suggesting that the 2 diseases are highly complex and that the relationships between them are strong. In order to understand the relationships between the 2 diseases, it is necessary to approach them from a new point of view such as energy metabolism relevance or autonomic nervous system control.
