Airway and systemic inflammation in obese children with asthma.
Obese asthma presents via altered airway and systemic inflammation in adults. This has not been comprehensively described in children. The aim of the present study was to compare airway and systemic inflammation in obese and nonobese asthmatic children and controls. In a cross-sectional study, children aged 8-17 years were assigned to one of four groups: obese asthma (OA, n=74); nonobese asthma...
متن کاملImpact of weight loss on markers of systemic inflammation in obese Saudi children with asthma.
BACKGROUND Weight loss studies were conducted in children without asthma have demonstrated a reduction in systemic inflammation. However, the impact of weight loss in the obese paediatric population with asthma has not been investigated. OBJECTIVE To measure the effects of weight loss on markers of systemic inflammation in obese children with bronchial asthma. METHODS Eighty obese children ...
متن کاملDiet-induced weight loss in obese children with asthma: a randomized controlled trial.
BACKGROUND Obesity is highly prevalent in asthmatic children and associated with worse clinical outcomes. Energy restriction to induce weight loss in asthmatic children has not been investigated in a randomized controlled trial (RCT). OBJECTIVE To assess if (1) weight loss can be achieved in obese asthmatic children using a dietary intervention; and (2) changes in asthma outcomes occur follow...
متن کاملAirway and Systemic Inflammation in Obese Children With Asthma
METHODS. This retrospective review included subjects from 2 cross-sectional studies conducted to assess the relationship between pediatric asthma and adiposity. Selected patients underwent somatometric measurements and skinfold thickness–mediated body fat assessment at 4 sites. The International Obesity Task Force cutoff points were used to categorize patients as normal weight, overweight, or o...
متن کاملThe influence of obesity on inflammation and clinical symptoms in asthma.
Obesity and asthma are both important public health issues. Increasing number of studies suggest the association between obesity and asthma which may be causal or accidental. The studies on animal models show innate enhancement of airway hyper-responsiveness which suggest that chronic airway hyper-responsiveness may be related to chronic low-grade systemic inflammation occurring in obesity. The...
