Abstrakt: The article discusses a study which hypothesized that obesity is associated with decreased bronchodilator responsiveness in children and adolescents with asthma. Topics covered include the measures used in the association analyses, the asthma symptoms, controller medication usage, and asthma exacerbations between obese and non-obese subjects and the odds of being bronchodilator unresponsive between children and adolescents.
