Early-Life Asthma may Contribute to Childhood Obesity

Asthma affects millions of children in the United States, and so does
obesity. A new study may have found a link between the two, as early-life
asthma may contribute to the development of childhood obesity.
.
New research suggests that asthma may increase the risk of childhood
obesity.
.
It is estimated that asthma affects around 1 in 10 U.S. children.
.
As for childhood obesity, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) report that 12.7 million children in the U.S. - or approximately 17
percent - are obese.
.
Childhood obesity and asthma are often found to occur together, but
existing research has not yet clarified whether asthma actually
contributes to the childhood obesity "epidemic."
.
New research from the University of Southern California (USC) in Los
Angeles aims to fill this research gap by examining the effects of asthma
and asthma medication on childhood obesity.
.
The findings were published in the American Journal of Respiratory and
Critical Care.

Assessing the link between early-life asthma and childhood obesity
Children with asthma 51 percent more likely to become obese
Compared with non-obese, asthma-free children, the non-obese children who
did have asthma were 51 percent more likely to develop obesity during
follow-up. The results stayed the same following sociodemographic
adjustments and adjustments for other variables.
Additionally, children with a history of wheezing were at a 42 percent
higher risk of developing obesity.
The age of asthma onset did not seem to influence the obesity risk.
Regarding the link between the use of asthma medications and obesity, the
researchers made another interesting discovery. They found that the use of
asthma rescue medications, such as an asthma inhaler, significantly
lowered the risk of obesity. These results were independent of physical
activity.
Significance of the study
