“…This prevalence resembles those mentioned in other studies involving adolescents, such as those conducted by Silva et al 24 . do Conde, Bahia, who detected the prevalence of 10.6% utilizing the response of the presence of chest wheezing in the 12 months and the report of asthma or wheezing at some point in life to define asthma symptoms.…”

ABSTRACT:Objective: Identify the factors associated with asthma symptoms in adolescents. Methods: Crosssectional study with the participation of 1,176 students between the ages of 11 and 17 years old, in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. The asthma symptoms were identified by using the standardized questionnaire from The International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood Program (ISAAC), phase III. The subjects' food intake data were collected by a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) comprised of 97 food items. All of the information was collected during a single interview. Anthropometric, socioeconomic, and demographic data were collected from the study population. The robust Poisson model was adopted to obtain the raw and adjusted PR (prevalence ratio). Results: From the total number of adolescents, 57.6% are female and 83.71% of them were between 13 and 17 years old. The prevalence of asthma symptoms was of 7.6%, being higher among males (9.62%). The prevalence of wheezing in the last 12 months was 8.6%. Among the adolescents with rhinitis and eczema, the prevalence of asthma symptoms was of 15.2 and 14.3%, respectively. After an adjusted analysis, the following factors were identified: females PR = 0.64 (95%CI 0.42 -0.96), rhinitis PR = 3.23 (95%CI 2.17 -4.83) and the 2 nd tertile of the healthy pattern (moderate consumption) PR = 0.61 (95%CI 0.37 -0.99). Conclusion: Rhinitis and eczema were presented as risk factors for asthma symptoms. The healthy food intake pattern that had been stratified in tertiles, presented the 2nd tertile as a protector for asthma symptoms.

When meta‐analysis was carried out on 21 studies that presented adjusted risk estimates of overweight on childhood wheezing disorders, the summary risk estimate was slightly accentuated (OR = 1.30, 95% CI: 1.19–1.42; p < 0.001) whereas the between‐study heterogeneity substantially decreased (Q = 27, d.f. = 20, p = 0.12; I 2 = 27%, 95% CI: 0.0–57%) (Fig.…”

The aims of this study were to describe and compare the recent literature data of anthropometric and nutritional measurements in children with bronchial asthma from the researches published in the last 10 years. 46 studies from the year 2003 to 2014 were reviewed and analyzed along with the information published before. The measurements reviewed include body height, body weight, body mass index and body composition.The severity and duration of bronchial asthma, along with the inhaled corticosteroid treatment, negatively correlate with the height of the children. Also, the fat free mass of the body is decreased and fat mass is increased. Due to more robust body build and the body mass index in children with bronchial asthma is usually increased if compared to healthy children. An increased body mass index in these children reduces the effectiveness of the treatment. Increased body mass index can also be a predictor for the risk for developing late onset bronchial asthma in girls.

The Prevalence of Wheezing and its Association with Body Mass Index and Abdominal Obesity in Children

Abstract: The results suggest that an excess of fat deposits, either in the abdominal region or elsewhere in the body, increased the risk of wheezing. Since obesity is an important public health problem worldwide, control of this problem may partially reduce the occurrence of wheezing in youth.
