New evidence of overweight involvement in limiting children's breathing

"Asthma is the first chronic disease in children, and some of the causes, such as viral genes and infections during childhood, are hard to prevent," said Dr. Jason Lang, lead author of research.

"Obesity may be the only preventable risk factor for asthma in children, which is further evidence that child survival is active and that a healthy weight is important for their health." physical."

"More trials are needed to prove that childhood obesity causes direct changes leading to asthma because scientists do not fully understand how and why this happens," he said. -he declares.

"It seems that the more children suffer from weight gain, the greater the risk of asthma is, a significant increase that again draws attention to the importance of prevention of the disease." obesity at an early age. "

Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease resulting from the presence of inflammation and spasm in the airways, resulting in a blockage that affects men and women at all stages of life.

Asthma is closely related to allergies and affects people, especially children, who have genetic factors for certain allergens, such as dust, cats, mice and cockroaches.

Another recent study found that obesity altered the function of airway muscles in the airways, increasing the risk of asthma.
