Association between obesity and asthrna
Keywords:
Obesity, Asthma, AdolescentAbstract
This is a bíblíographic review of national and international joumals to select studies on the association between asthma and obesity in adolescents. The articles were seaKhed in the following databases: Medline, SciELO and Lilacs with the keywords obesity, asthma and adolescents. Those published from 1980 to 2006 were selected as well as the first studies to ínvestigate this association in previous years. In most of the cross-sectional studies, an association between asthma and obesity in adolescents was found, that is, adolescents with asthma symptoms were overweight or obese. Many studies found a significant association among females, not as much among males, but without a specific cause. There are evidences of the relationship between obesity and asthma in children and adults but in the transition phase (adolescence) the evidences are contradictory, indicaüng that gender És likely to be the effect modifier.
