Abstract

To determine if asthma control was more difficult to achieve in obese versus non-obese asthmatic children, retrospective analysis was performed on obese and non-obese Los Angeles inner-city children (2 to 18 years of age) with persistent asthma. No difference in time required to achieve control of asthma, ability to maintain control of asthma, baseline pulmonary functions, and number of controllers prescribed was found between the two groups. We conclude that in a Los Angeles inner-city pediatric population, obesity is not a factor in the ability to control asthma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
