Abstract
|
|
|
|
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.
