“…The increased prevalence of allergic respiratory disease worldwide 1–3 is attributed in part to atopic women having more pregnancies resulting in live births than nonatopic women 4 as both successful pregnancy 5,6 and allergic diseas 7,8 are associated with a type 2 (T2) immune response endotype i.e., group 2 innate lymphoid/adaptive T helper 2 cell immune response 9,10 . The National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) is a cross-sectional survey representative of the U.S. population of women of reproductive age 11 .…”

This study addresses whether asthma and/or hay fever predict fertility and impaired fecundity. The lifetime number of pregnancies (fertility) and spontaneous pregnancy losses (impaired fecundity) in 10,847 women representative of the U.S. population 15 to 44 years of age with histories of diagnosed asthma and/or hay fever are analyzed in the 1995 National Survey of Family Growth using multivariable Poisson regression with multiple covariates and adjustments for complex sampling. Smokers have significantly increased fertility compared to nonsmokers. Smokers with asthma only have significantly increased fertility compared to other smokers. Higher fertility is associated with impaired fecundity (ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, stillbirth). Women with asthma (with and without hay fever) have significantly higher pregnancy losses than women without asthma. With increasing number of pregnancies, smokers have increased pregnancy losses compared to nonsmokers. Smokers, especially those with asthma only, have increased fertility and require special attention as to their family planning needs, reproductive health, and smoking cessation. Women with asthma, regardless of number of pregnancies, and smokers with higher numbers of pregnancies have high risk pregnancies that require optimal asthma/medical management prenatally and throughout pregnancy. Whether a proinflammatory asthma endotype underlies both the increased fertility and impaired fecundity associated with age and smoking is discussed.

“…Asthma is a common airway disorder with clusters of respiratory symptoms including recurrent episodes of coughing, shortness of breath, and dyspnea ( 1 ). Epidemiological investigation revealed that the incidence of asthma varies widely among different countries ranging from ~7 to 18% ( 2 ). Although its condition can be alleviated by inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) or by combined treatment with ICS and long-acting β-agonists (LABA) ( 3 ), there is no specific drug that can permanently prevent the recurrence of an asthma attack.…”

Objective: Recent studies have indicated a pathophysiologic link between migraine and asthma. This meta-analysis aimed to comprehensively estimate the risk ratio for migraine in asthma as well as that of asthma in migraine based on available evidence.Method: We systematically searched the electronic databases including PubMed, Web of Science, and SCOPUS for population-based studies that measured either the odds or the risk of asthma in subjects with migraine as well as that of migraine in subjects with asthma. The titles and abstracts were screened by two independent reviewers to identify eligible studies, and this was followed by full-text review of the included studies. Newcastle–Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to assess the risk of bias of included literature. A meta-analysis was conducted with Review Manager 5.3 Software to calculate the odds ratio (OR) for case-control and cross-sectional studies and either relative ratio (RR) or hazard ratio (HR) for cohort studies, and the source of heterogeneity was assessed. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were conducted, and the I2 test were used to assess the source of heterogeneity. The funnel plot, Galbraith plot, and Egger's test were used to evaluate publication bias.Results: Fifteen published studies covering a total of 1,188,780 individuals were identified. Pooled analysis indicated that migraine was associated with increased odds (OR = 1.54; 95% CI: 1.34~1.77) and risk for asthma (HR = 1.42; 95% CI: 1.26~1.60), and asthma associated with increased odds (OR = 1.45; 95% CI: 1.22~1.72) and risk for migraine (HR = 1.47; 95% CI: 1.41~1.52).Conclusion: Migraine is a potential risk indicator for asthma, and vice versa, asthma is a potential risk indicator for migraine. However, future prospective cohort studies are warranted to provide more evidence concerning the detailed association between migraine and asthma.

the objective of this study was to evaluate the bidirectional association between asthma and migraines using control subjects matched by demographic factors. the Korean Health insurance Review and Assessment Service-National Sample Cohort from 2002 to 2013 was used. In study I, 113,059 asthma participants were matched with 113,059 control I participants. In study II, 36,044 migraine participants were matched with 114,176 control II participants. The hazard ratios (HRs) of migraines in the asthma patients (study I) and asthma in the migraine patients (study II) were analyzed using stratified Cox proportional hazard models after adjusting for depression and the Charlson comorbidity index. In study I, 5.3% (6,017/ 113,059) of the asthma group and 3.4% (3,806/ 113,059) of the control I group had migraines (P < 0.001). The asthma group demonstrated an adjusted HR of 1.47 for migraine (95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.41-1.53, P < 0.001). In study II, 15.4% (5,548/36,044) of the migraine group and 10.6% (15,271/144,176) of the control group had asthma (P < 0.001). The migraine group showed an adjusted HR of 1.37 for asthma (95% CI = 1.33-1.41, P value < 0.001). Asthma and migraines are reciprocally associated. Asthma is a chronic airway disease associated with clusters of respiratory symptoms, including wheezing and dyspnea. Asthma is a common disease with different prevalences according to ethnicity that range from approximately 7% to 18.0% 1. The incidence of asthma in the adult population (>20 years old) was estimated to be approximately 3.63-6.07 per 1,000 people in Korea 2. Because the diagnosis of asthma is based on the functional deterioration of the lower airway, the underlying pathophysiologic causes of asthma have been reported to vary among asthmatic patients 3. According to the pathophysiologic mechanisms, asthma is classified as two major endotypes of T-helper type 2 cell (TH2)-high and TH2-low diseases 4. Thus, in addition to TH2-high related diseases, such as allergic rhinitis, other immune-related diseases could complicate asthma. In addition, both genetic factors and environmental triggering factors have been suggested to be related to asthma 5,6. Migraine disorder is another chronic disease characterized by multiple symptoms of headache and/or aura. As many as approximately 1.04 billion people suffer from migraines worldwide (95% uncertainty interval = 1.00-1.09) 7. In Korea, approximately 6.0% of the adult population (19-69 years) suffers from migraines 8. Migraines are characterized by recurrent episodic symptom sequences of a premonitory phase, an aura phase, a headache phase, and a postdrome phase 9. The environmental triggering factors can hyper-activate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis and autonomic nervous system in migraine susceptible subjects 10. These hormonal and nervous changes induce vasodilation, the release of vascular factors, including growth factors, cytokines, nitric oxide, norepinephrine and calcitonin gene-related peptide, and interaction with endothelial cells, res...

Contribution of weight status to asthma prevalence racial disparities, 2–19 year olds, 1988–2014

Abstract: NHB youth had a greater asthma prevalence increase from 1988-1994 to 2011-2014 than NHW youth. Most of the racial disparity in asthma prevalence remained unexplained after considering weight status and other characteristics.
