Obesity and asthma, what are the links? Bianca Schaub and Erika von Mutius Purpose of review Introduction Obesity is a major cause of morbidity accounting for Over the last two decades the prevalence of obesity has approximately 300 000 deaths each year and about 7% of steadily increased in Western countries [1,2]. It seems the health care budget with an economic impact greater likely that changes in dietary habits play a pivotal role in than US$100 billion annually in the United States. Obesity the industrialized world. Addition of dietary supplements and its sequelae such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, such as antioxidants and vitamins, intake of fatty acids arthritis or cancer have been on the rise over the last and increase in caloric consumption all contribute to a decades. The parallel time trend with an increasing change in the Western diet, thereby increasing the risk prevalence of asthma has induced a lively debate about a of being overweight [3]. It has been known for some potential link between both conditions. time that obesity is related to the development of Recent findings cardiovascular illnesses, non-insulin-dependent diabetes, A number of prospective studies have shown that weight rheumatoid arthritis and cancer, for example,
