“…Multiple studies observed that abdominal obesity had a notable negative impact on respiratory functions [47,48]. Additional findings show that an increase in abdominal obesity markedly lowers the asthma control score [49,50]. Specialists draw attention to the need to balance patients with comorbidities through diet and adequate rest [47,48].…”

Background: Diet and lifestyle play important roles in preventing and improving chronic diseases, and evaluating behavioral risk factors in these pathologies allows for efficient management. Methods: A clinical study by screening biochemical parameters and pulmonary function was carried out to evaluate behavioral risk factors in obstructive pulmonary disease associated with metabolic syndrome. Results: Of the total of 70 patients included in the clinical study, 46 were men and 24 were women (χ2 = 3.9, p = 0.168). Forty-eight patients presented at least three met risk criteria associated with the metabolic syndrome (19 women and 29 men). Regarding the assessment of lung function, only 7 of the patients presented normal spirometry values (χ2 = 75.28, p < 0.001), and the other 63 patients presented with ventilatory dysfunction; most (over 80%) declared that they were smokers or had smoked in the past (χ2 = 5.185, p = 0.075). In terms of body weight, 45 of the patients are overweight or obese, most of them declaring that they do not consume enough vegetable products, they consume large amounts of foods of animal origin (meat, milk, eggs) but also super processed foods (food products type of junk food), do not hydrate properly, and are predominantly sedentary people (54 of the patients do no physical activity at all; χ2 = 2.12, p = 0.713). Conclusion: From the statistical processing of the data, it is noted that insufficient hydration, low consumption of vegetables, increased consumption of hyper-caloric food products rich in additives, sedentary lifestyle, and smoking are the main disruptive behavioral factors that worsen the health status in lung disease associated with the metabolic syndrome. An important conclusion emerging from the study is that the imbalances that aggravate obstructive lung diseases are generated by unhealthy food and an unbalanced lifestyle.

“…Although a relationship between both obesity and physical activity with asthma was found in the univariate analysis, minimal physical activity was not found to be associated with asthma in Models 3 and 4. The literature has shown that obesity is associated not only with the development of asthma but also with asthma-related limitations in activities such as sports, indicating its role in the manifestation of asthma [ 26 – 28 ]. Given the increasing trend of obesity in Turkey [ 29 , 30 ], it is crucial to enhance preventive and therapeutic services related to obesity in healthcare [ 30 , 31 ] Following the inclusion of socioeconomic and healthcare access variables in the model, the removal of minimal physical activity as a risk factor suggests that even the addition of walking paths in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas could be beneficial for the control of asthma [ 31 ].…”

Asthma, influenced by genetic, environmental, and social factors is leading to poor outcomes and preventable mortality due to inadequate care and limited access to effective treatments. This study aimed to analyze self-reported asthma prevalence in Turkey, focusing on its determinants, such as individual factors, lifestyle, socioeconomic status, and healthcare access.This study conducts a secondary analysis of the 2019 Turkiye Health Survey (THS), employing a nationally representative cross-sectional design by the Turkish Statistical Institute. The sampling utilized a stratified, two-stage cluster sampling method, with data from 16,976 adults (aged 15 years and older) analyzed for asthma determinants. The independent variables are categorized into four domains: individual factors, lifestyle assessment, socioeconomic factors, and access to the healthcare services.The prevalence of asthma is 9.8%, varying significantly across demographics. Higher asthma rates are observed among older, divorced/widowed individuals, those with communication difficulties, and obese individuals. Cost-related unmet healthcare needs and appointment scheduling delays increase asthma risk. Logistic regression models identified age, marital status, obesity, education level, and healthcare access as significant predictors of asthma.This study underscores the multifaceted determinants of asthma in Turkey, highlighting the necessity for targeted interventions addressing individual, lifestyle, socioeconomic, and healthcare access factors.
