Obesity and asthma
Obesity has been well recognized as an important comorbidity in patients with asthma, representing a unique phenotype and endotype. This association indicates a close relationship between metabolic and inflammatory dysregulation. However, the detailed organ-organ, cellular, and molecular interactions are not completely resolved. Because of that, the relationship between obesity and asthma remains unclear. In this article, clinical and epidemiological studies, as well as data from experimental animal work, are being summarized to provide a state of the art update on this important topic.
