Relationship between asthma and obesity: a update review
Abstract
The asthma and the obesity are pathologies usually found in childhood and adolescence, and they are adjudged a public health problem. The correlation between these inflammatory diseases has been indicated on many studies, as in theses age group as in adults as well. Therefore, the goal of this present study was realize a up-to-date literature research which connect the most important results about this theme. We have selected nationals and internationals studies published between 1980 and 2009 using Medline, Scielo and Lilacs databases. A lot of these studies have showed positive correlation between asthma and obesity, once that the substances which increase the inflammatory process and excite the asthma development are produced by adipose tissue. This characteristic is really clear in childhood and adulthood and, besides that, gender and age group can influence the intensity of this relationship.
