Association of Body Mass Index with Asthma Severity and Pulmonary Function among Asthmatic Children
Background Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease in respiratory system and obesity is another inflammatory disease which incidence rate is increasing. Although, many studies have been conducted on severity of asthma and its relationship with obesity, but different results have been obtained. This study aimed to determine a relationship between asthma severity, Body Mass Index (BMI) and pulmo...
متن کاملGenome-Wide Association Study of Retinopathy in Individuals without Diabetes
BACKGROUND Mild retinopathy (microaneurysms or dot-blot hemorrhages) is observed in persons without diabetes or hypertension and may reflect microvascular disease in other organs. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of mild retinopathy in persons without diabetes. METHODS A working group agreed on phenotype harmonization, covariate selection and analytic plans for within-cohor...
متن کاملAsthma and body mass index in occupational setting
Background :Asthma is the most common respiratory disease with an increasing prevalence. On the other hand, obesity is also a challenging disease compromising health in human communities. This study sought to assess the correlation of asthma and body mass index (BMI) in occupational setting. Methods : This study was conducted in a cable manufacturing company in 2012. A total of 551 workers ...
متن کاملassociation of asthma severity with body mass index among adults
asthma is now recognized as a common cause of disability of great economic cost and preventable deaths. in this study we aimed to test our hypothesis based on the relationship between body mass index and bronchial asthma .among the patients with acute asthma admitted to the emergency ward and pulmonology clinic, we sought to determine the prevalence of obesity, as well as the effect of body mas...
متن کاملGenome-wide association study of height and body mass index in Australian twin families.
Human height and body mass index are influenced by a large number of genes, each with small effects, along with environment. To identify common genetic variants associated with these traits, we performed genome-wide association studies in 11,536 individuals composed of Australian twins, family members, and unrelated individuals at approximately 550,000 genotyped SNPs. We identified a single gen...
