Overvægtige astmapatienter har dårligere astmakontrol

Pradeesh Sivapalan, Peter Lange, Charlotte Suppli Ulrik

Abstract

Current literature indicates that asthma is more prevalent among obese individuals. In addition, studies have shown that higher body mass index (BMI), particularly BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2, is associated with poorer asthma control and asthma-related quality of life. Furthermore, growing evidence suggests that obese patients with asthma respond less favourably to inhaled corticosteroids compared to non-obese patients. Moreover, longitudinal studies indicate that weight reduction improves asthma control. Therefore, preventing and treating obesity should be an integrated part of asthma management.
