Abstract

Obesity is a risk factor for severe and difficult-to-treat asthma. However, the impact of different physiques on long-term outcomes is poorly understood. We aimed to investigate the correlation between obesity and asthma-associated long-term mortality in Japanese adults. From the data on 3146 individuals with air pollution-related respiratory diseases in the Omuta City Air Pollution-Related Health Damage Cohort Program, 697 adult patients with asthma were analyzed. Hazard ratios for long-term all-cause and respiratory disease -related mortality were compared in patients with different physiques using the Cox proportional hazard models. The classification of physiques was based on the WHO obesity criteria. Of the 697 patients, 439 died during the median observation period of 26.3 years. The number (% of total) of underweight, normal-weight, pre-obese, and obese class I-III individuals were 75 (10.8%), 459 (65.9%), 140 (20.1%), and 23 (3.3%), respectively. The Cox proportional hazard model (adjusted hazard ratio [95% confidence interval], P value) showed that pre-obese group had a significantly reduced risk for all-cause (0.65 [0.51 to 0.83], P < 0.05) and respiratory disease (0.55 [0.37 to 0.81], P < 0.05)-related mortality rela...Continue Reading

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.
