“…Such effects would positively impact the quality of life of those affected. 2,3 Although having a television in the bedroom proved to be a protective factor against asthma, screen time did not differ between groups. The authors understand that such finding would be more relevant if associations with SB and the total screen time had also been found, which was analyzed both as continuous and categorical in nature.…”

“…1 Such diseases are associated with children's inappropriate habits, such as reduced physical activity (PA) and increased time of sedentary behavior (SB), thus favoring overweight and childhood obesity. 2,3 According to data from the National Scholar Health Survey (Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde do Escolar -PeNSE), Brazilian adolescents account for the highest worldwide prevalence of asthma (23.2%). 4 Conversely, in children, the prevalence of asthma and allergic rhinitis is 24.3 and 12.6%, respectively.…”

Objective: To evaluate the association between nutritional status, physical activity, sedentary behavior, diet, and lifestyle in childhood with respiratory diseases during adolescence. Methods: Prospective study conducted in São Caetano do Sul, São Paulo - Brazil, as part of the International Study of Childhood Obesity, Lifestyle and the Environment (ISCOLE). During childhood, indicators of lifestyle (body composition, physical activity, sedentary behavior, diet) and family environment were measured in 2012 and 2013. After five years, participants answered the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) questionnaire for the diagnosis of respiratory diseases (asthma and/or rhinitis). Analyses were determined by logistic regression. Results: A total of 168 schoolchildren (56% boys) were evaluated, and the prevalence of asthma and rhinitis accounted for 15.5 and 25.6%, respectively. Whole milk consumption (Odds Ratio [OR]=1.24; 95% confidence interval [95%CI] 1.03-1.49), having a television in the bedroom (OR=0.29; 95%CI 0.12-0.71), and attending physical education classes ≥2 times/week (OR=0.30; 95%CI 0.11-0.81) in childhood were associated with the presence of asthma in adolescence. Factors significantly associated with rhinitis were as follows: female participants (OR=2.45; 95%CI 1.20-4.98) and whole milk consumption (OR=1.21; 95%CI 1.04-1.40). Conclusions: Higher consumption of whole milk, not having a television in the bedroom, few physical education classes, and being a girl were factors associated with respiratory diseases. Public policies should be directed toward a healthier lifestyle and the prevention of respiratory diseases.

“…In Asian countries, meta‐analysis showed that obesity (>30 kg/m 2 ) was associated with an overall increased risk of asthma by 2.02‐fold ( n = 8 studies) 27 . Sedentary behaviours such as increased TV watching, and reduced hours of physical activity have found to be correlated with asthma risk 43 . However, it is still unclear whether asthma predisposes an individual to obesity, if obesity confounds asthma diagnosis, or that both asthma and obesity simply co‐occur or interact.…”

Obese individuals with asthma are more likely to have Th1-skewed inflammatory responses, which is in part mediated by insulin resistance, systemic inflammation and/or alterations in lipid metabolism.…”

There is growing interest in the epidemiology of asthma in developing countries, especially in the Asia‐Pacific Region (APR). A number of reviews have been published in this field, but a comprehensive synthesis of overall data has not been reported. Here, we summarized the burden, risk factors and challenges of asthma management in developing countries with a specific emphasis on the APR by consolidating evidence from both systematic and narrative reviews published up until February 2023. We found that although asthma prevalence in low and low‐middle‐income countries (LMICs) is known to be generally lower compared to high‐income countries, the burden is substantially greater. Studies conducted in APR LMIC have reported a range of risk factors, including pre‐ and post‐natal factors, environmental considerations, lifestyle measures, individual features and genetics. The low and inequitable distribution of quality preventive and curative health care, a lack of advanced diagnostic measures, non‐availability and non‐affordability of novel therapeutics, cultural beliefs and practices, and diverse disease phenotypes make it challenging to achieve optimal asthma control in the region. Hence, we call for the development of a region‐specific blueprint for action to mitigate this challenging situation, to help reduce the burden of asthma in APR LMIC.

“…In the last few decades an altered eating pattern has been associated with asthma not only in the Indian adult population 6 but also among children and adolescents with major portion of their meals comprising of fried foods and fast foods which are loaded with energy and fats with a significant amount of saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium 7 . Fast foods have been taking a toll over the health of children because they replace the healthier food options such as fruits, vegetables, milk, breads and cereals 8 causing a suboptimal dietary intake of vitamins such as A, C, E and carotenoids as well as other antioxidants such as selenium and flavonoids which have an adverse effect on the modulation of oxidative lung stimuli.…”

Drastic transition in the dietary habits of children has resulted in an uprising trend in childhood respiratory morbidity. Diet being a modifiable risk factor for respiratory discomforts, the authors aimed to investigate the association between food intake, Body Mass Index and Peak Expiratory Flow Rate by examining cross-sectional data from 1926 school children (10-14 years) selected from the four regions of the Union Territory of Puducherry during 2015 to 2017. The results revealed that Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) was prevalent and statistically significant among majority of the children in the Union Territory of Puducherry. The lowest minimum (228.2 L/min) and lowest maximum (330.9 L/min) PEFR values was noted among milk consumers while the highest maximum was seen among strawberry eaters (410 L/min). The minimum range of PEFR for fruit intake was found to be lowest for banana (235.8 L/min). Among the animal sources, fish eaters had the highest maximum PEFR (355.5 L/min). Those consuming fried foods had PEFR value of 353.8 L/min which was same as that of banana eaters. Of the 19 food items the highest difference in mean PEFR value within each food item was observed in strawberry (151.4 L/min) and the lowest in chicken (101.1 L/min). The implication of this study is that vegetarian diet consisting of more fresh fruits and vegetables have a stronger association with PEFR values when compared to non-vegetarian diet.
