Chronic cough and obesity

Pulmonary Pharmacology & Therapeutics
Laurent Guilleminault

Abstract

With respective prevalence of 13% and 9.6%, obesity and chronic cough are two common conditions worldwide. The crucial role of obesity has been highlighted in the development and progression of many respiratory diseases. According to the results of epidemiological studies, obesity, particularly abdominal obesity, may also be associated with chronic cough (CC). CC seems to be more severe in obese patients compared to normal-weight subjects. The management of CC may differ slightly in obese patients compared to non-obese patients. Indeed, asthma and reflux diseases, which are considered key factors in the onset of CC, are characterised by more severe symptoms in obese patients. Asthma is associated with a resistance to usual treatments in obese patients but no data are available on the effect of inhaled therapies in obese subjects with cough variant asthma. Other emergent causes of CC have been reported in obese patients. Obstructive sleep apnoea and diabetes may also be involved in the development of CC and should be taken into account in obese patients with CC. The beneficial effect of weight loss on chronic cough has been suggested.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
