There is nothing more terrifying than not being able to breathe.  But that’s what asthmatics face every day.  Asthma is a chronic disease characterized by inflammation of the airways. Symptoms include wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness and cough.  According to the Global Initiative for Asthma it affects an estimated 300 million people worldwide.  And it increases globally by 50 percent every decade.[i]

Asthma is also deadly.  According to the World Health Organization, it is linked to more than 180,000 deaths per year.[ii]

No single cause of asthma has been identified.  Symptoms may be triggered or worsened by viral infections, allergens, tobacco smoke, exercise and stress, among other things.

Obesity is also linked to asthma.  A study from the Harvard School of Public Health found that obesity is both a risk factor for asthma and is associated with increased severity of the symptoms.

And a study in the journal Allergy looked at data from the 2005-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).  It found that obese people had more than 2.5 times the risk of developing asthma as people with a normal body mass index (BMI).

Researchers from Duke University also reviewed NHANES data from 2001 through 2004.  They found that people with a BMI in the obese range were 12 percent more likely to have more severe asthma. They hypothesized that the inflammation induced by obesity may contribute to worse asthma symptoms.
