“…Our results displayed the there was no statistical significance among the infants with normal weight, low weight and overweight. It is indicated that the occurrence of wheezing is not relevant to weight [27], but may be associated with growth speed, which is in accordance with previous reports [10, 28, 29]. Evidences demonstrated that the weight growth speed might serve as a potential influencing factor in obesity [19], pulmonary function decline [29], bronchial asthma [30], cardiovascular disease [16], and type 1 diabetes [17] during infancy.…”

“…Studies found that nearly half of children had wheezing within 1 year after birth, especially no more than 6 months [4]. To date scholars mostly had focused on investigating the effects of weight gain on wheezing or recurrent wheezing in different periods [12, 23–26], meanwhile several researchers found that growth speed was a risk factor for respiratory disease among children [27]. Our results displayed the there was no statistical significance among the infants with normal weight, low weight and overweight.…”

Background The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between rapid weight gain and early wheezing. Methods This study screened 701 infants with lower respiratory tract infection who were no more than 4 months from Jan 1st to Dec 31st in 2018. According to weight-for-age Z-value (WAZ), these infants were divided into the considerably slow weight gain group (group I), the normal weight gain group (group II) and the excessively rapid weight gain group (group III), respectively. The clinical characteristics, weight growth speeds and serum lipid levels were analyzed, and multivariable Logistic model was conducted to select significant variables. Results Our results showed that male (OR = 1.841, 95%CI: 1.233–2.751), family wheezing (OR = 5.118, 95%CI: 2.118–12.365), age (OR = 1.273, 95%CI: 1.155–1.403), eczema (OR = 2.769, 95%CI: 1.793–4.275), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection (OR = 1.790, 95%CI: 1.230–2.604), birth weight (OR = 1.746, 95%CI: 1.110–2.746) and total cholesterol (TC) (OR = 1.027, 95%CI: 1.019–1.036) and ΔWAZ (OR = 1.182, 95%CI: 1.022–1.368) were associated with early wheezing. Results indicated that serum TC (P = 0.018) and ΔWAZ (P = 0.023) were positive correlation with wheezing days. Conclusion Besides male, family wheezing, age, eczema, RSV infection, birth weight and TC, the rapid weight growth as a risk factor should be concerned in the early wheezing infants.

Effects of birth weight and growth on childhood wheezing disorders: findings from the Born in Bradford Cohort

ObjectivesTo examine the effects of birth weight and childhood growth on childhood wheezing disorders. We hypothesised that low birth weight and fast growth during early age would increase the risk of wheezing disorders.SettingObservational secondary analysis of data from the Born in Bradford cohort.ParticipantsAll children who were born at the Bradford Royal Infirmary hospital between March 2007 and December 2010 were eligible for the study. A total of 13 734 and 1598 children participated in the analyses of the effects of birth weight and growth on wheezing disorders, respectively.Primary and secondary outcome measuresWheezing disorders diagnosis (diagnosed as asthma or had wheezing symptom) during the ages of 0–7 years were the primary outcome measures. Diagnosis of asthma and occurrence of wheezing during the same period were secondary outcome measures. Birth weight was classified as normal (2.5–4.0 kg), low (<2.5 kg) and high (>4.0 kg). Growth mixture models were used to drive growth pattern outcomes which were classified as ‘normal’, ‘fast’ and ‘slow’ growth based on their velocities between birth and 36 months.ResultsThe adjusted relative risks (RRs) of wheezing disorders diagnosis for the low and high birthweight children were 1.29 (95% CI 1.12 to 1.50; p=0.001) and 0.91 (95% CI 0.79 to 1.04; p=0.17), respectively. The adjusted RRs of wheezing disorders diagnosis were 1.30 (95% CI 0.56 to 3.06; p=0.54) and 0.60 (95% CI 0.16 to 2.18; p=0.44), respectively, for the ‘fast’ and ‘slow’ growth as compared with the ‘normal’ growth.ConclusionsLow birth weight is associated with an increased risk of wheezing disorders; however, there is a weak evidence that suggests high birthweight children have a reduced risk in this birth cohort. Low birth weight coupled with a slower growth until 3 months and a sharp growth between 3 and 12 months has an increased risk of wheezing disorders diagnosis.

“…Many studies addressing this issue were based on rather simple growth modelling,3 5 6 8 12 14 15 evaluating the difference in two growth measurements, usually expressed as change in weight/weight for length or body mass index (BMI) SD z scores. Some other studies used more complex growth models considering different patterns of early growth trajectories 4 7 9 10 11 13 16.…”
