Obesity is a major risk factor for the development of asthma, and worsens the key features of
asthma including airway hyperresponsiveness, inflammation, and airway remodeling …

Obesity is a major risk factor for the development of asthma, and causes severe,
uncontrolled disease that responds poorly to therapy. The obese state alters early onset …

Obesity is a risk factor for asthma and influences airway hyperresponsiveness, which is in
part modulated by airway smooth muscle proliferative remodeling. Plasma free fatty acids …

Background A clear relationship between asthma and obesity has been reported, but the
mechanisms remain unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of obesity …

Background and objective There appears to be two distinct clinical phenotypes of obese
patients with asthma—those with early‐onset asthma and high serum IgE (TH2‐high), and …

Obesity is considered as an important risk factor for the onset of asthma and plays a key role
in enhancing the disease's severity. Obese asthmatic individuals represent a distinct …

Background Previous studies have shown the association of anthropometric measures with
poor asthma symptoms, especially among women. However, the potential influence of …

Background Asthma patients with comorbid obesity exhibit increased disease severity, in
part, due to airway remodeling, which is also observed in mouse models of asthma and …

Obesity can cause or worsen asthma. Compared with common asthma, obese asthma is
difficult to control. Statins are effective serum cholesterol-lowering agents in clinical practice …

Obesity is an important risk factor for asthma but the mechanistic basis for this association is
not well understood. In the current study, the impact of obesity on lung inflammatory …
