Dynamic Hyperinflation with Bronchoconstriction

Abstract: Changes in respiratory function, notably dynamic hyperinflation, are greater in obese individuals with bronchoconstriction. This may potentially alter the perception and assessment of asthma severity in obese patients with asthma.

“…These differences may contribute to reported differences in perceived impairment and asthma symptoms between obese and nonobese adults. 38 In children, there were no significant differences in FEV 1 , FVC, or FEV 1 :FVC ratio between obese and nonobese patients. In addition, the response to bronchodilators was similar in pediatric patients who were normal weight, overweight, or obese.…”

“…The reduction in lung operating volumes leads to expiratory airflow limitation and dynamic hyperinflation 49,50. In asthma, this worsens with bronchospasm 51. Together with the increased oxygen cost for exercise due to the metabolic cost resulting from the increased weight, this dynamic hyperinflation likely contributes to the dyspnea on exertion noted by obese individuals and particularly those with asthma.…”

“…Obese asthmatics have greater disease severity [2], lower pulmonary function [3, 4] and lower response to medications [5] than normal-weight asthmatics. The disease burden is higher in Hispanics [6, 7], in whom obesity [8], and asthma [7] are more prevalent than in non-Hispanic whites [9].…”
