“…However, much of the research in this area has focused on adults (Akerman, Calacanis, & Madsen, 2004;Ford & Mannino, 2005;Luder, Ehrlich, Lou, Melnik, & Kattan, 2004;Spivak, Hewitt, Onn, & Half, 2005). A study examing the trends in obesity among adults, used data from the NHANES I, II, and III which showed that people with asthma are far more likely to be obese than people who do not have asthma (Ford & Mannino, 2005).…”

“…In a study of 500 morbidly obese patients who underwent laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding surgery, 163 patients had comorbidities such as diabetes, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and asthma (Spivak et al, 2005). At 36 months post successful weight loss surgery, over 80% of the patients, who had asthma symptoms prior to surgery, reported resolution or improvement in their symptoms (Spivak et al, 2005). Much of the limited research examining obesity and asthma among children has focused on inner-city and minority populations due to the higher prevalence of asthma and obesity in these groups.…”

“…In recent years, bariatric surgical procedures have been increasingly used for the treatment of severe obesity. These procedures combine gastric restriction and/or intestinal bypass to induce early satiety and nutrient malabsorbtion, respectively (35,(169)(170)(171)(172), and lead to an approximately 60% loss in excess body weight in the first 12 to 18 months postoperatively (173)(174)(175)(176)(177)(178)(179)(180)(181)(182)(183)(184)(185). In a recent meta-analysis of bariatric studies involving 22,094 patients, Buchwald and colleagues (11) Improvements in sleep apnea with weight loss have been related to effects of adiposity on upper airway function during sleep.…”

Obstructive sleep apnea is a common disorder whose prevalence is linked to an epidemic of obesity in Western society. Sleep apnea is due to recurrent episodes of upper airway obstruction during sleep that are caused by elevations in upper airway collapsibility during sleep. Collapsibility can be increased by underlying anatomic alterations and/or disturbances in upper airway neuromuscular control, both of which play key roles in the pathogenesis of obstructive sleep apnea. Obesity and particularly central adiposity are potent risk factors for sleep apnea. They can increase pharyngeal collapsibility through mechanical effects on pharyngeal soft tissues and lung volume, and through central nervous system-acting signaling proteins (adipokines) that may affect airway neuromuscular control. Specific molecular signaling pathways encode differences in the distribution and metabolic activity of adipose tissue. These differences can produce alterations in the mechanical and neural control of upper airway collapsibility, which determine sleep apnea susceptibility. Although weight loss reduces upper airway collapsibility during sleep, it is not known whether its effects are mediated primarily by improvement in upper airway mechanical properties or neuromuscular control. A variety of behavioral, pharmacologic, and surgical approaches to weight loss may be of benefit to patients with sleep apnea, through distinct effects on the mass and activity of regional adipose stores. Examining responses to specific weight loss strategies will provide critical insight into mechanisms linking obesity and sleep apnea, and will help to elucidate the humoral and molecular predictors of weight loss responses.

“…Data in adults are encouraging. [147][148][149][150][151] However, no studies have been conducted in children determining the impact of weight loss on asthma. Of the adult studies, only a handful has focused on asthma as a primary outcome (Table 2).…”
