Abstract

Objective To explore the association between obesity and astnma in children of Chongqing city. Methods This case-control study included 360 (120 asthmatic children and 240 healthy children) aged 6~13 years old.Anthropometric measures and blood samples for analysis of metabolic factors were determined and compared between the two groups. Results Body mass index (BMI) was positively associated with current asthma (t=8.64,P=0.000).Exposure to secondhand smoking was significantly associated with asthma among obesity children (χ²=7.38,P=0.007).Total cholesterol,high density lipoprotein cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels,C- reactive protein (CRP) levels were all increased progressively in the asthmatics group and obese asthmatics group than control( all P<0.05). Conclusion Higher BMI,elevated serum lipid and CRP levels are associated with increased incident risk of asthma in children.

Key words
