“…[20][21][22] Results from a recent birth cohort study in children originating from Paris reported a protective association of MedDiet not only to allergic morbidity but also to the lung function, as demonstrated through improved spirometry, in children aged eight. 23 However, there are studies which have not replicated the favorable association between MedDiet and atopic disease prevalence. For example, in a case-control study of 287 asthmatic Peruvian children, adolescents aged 9-19 years, and 96 nonasthmatic counterparts, no association was observed between MedDiet and allergic sensitization.…”

Introduction: The contribution of dietary patterns in the occurrence of atopic diseases, mainly asthma, allergic rhinits, and eczema is ambiguous. Our study examined the association between the level of adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) and the prevalence of atopic diseases in adolescence. Methods: A total of 1934 adolescents (boys: 47.5%, mean age [standard variation]: 12.7[0.6] years) enrolled voluntarily. Participants completed a validated questionnaire on atopic disease status, dietary habits, and other sociodemographic and lifestyle characteristics. KIDMED score was used for the evaluation of adherence to the MedDiet. Discriminant analysis was applied to the hierarchy of foods and beverages consumed in relation to the presence of atopic diseases. Results: Logistic regression analyses revealed that adolescents with moderate and good adher-ence to the MedDiet had 34 and 60% lower odds of having any asthma symptoms, respectively, and 20 and 41% lower odds of having any allergic rhinitis symptoms, respectively, adjusted for several confounders. The food group with the most important contribution to the MedDiet was cooked and raw vegetables, followed by fruits (Wilk’s λ = 0.881 and λ = 0.957, respectively). Conclusion: Our study provided evidence for a strong and inverse association between the level of adherence to the MedDiet and the occurrence of asthma and allergic rhinitis symptoms and signified the importance of contribution of fruits and vegetable consumption in this association. Thus, the promotion of MedDiet could be an efficient lifestyle intervention that can contribute to the reduction of the burden of these atopic diseases in adolescents.

“…Examining Spanish children, Garcia-Marcos et al revealed that obesity was a risk factor of current severe asthma in girls aged 6 and 7, and the Mediterranean diet may have a protective effect on it [ 53 ]. In French school-aged children from a PARIS birth cohort, high adherence to a Mediterranean diet was connected with lower asthma morbidity and sensitization and also with higher FEV1 and FVC in patients [ 54 ]. However, there are also some studies not confirming the positive relation between a Mediterranean diet and asthma prevention [ 55 ].…”

The Impact of Dietary Intervention in Obese Children on Asthma Prevention and Control

The prevalence of both asthma and obesity in the pediatric population is steadily increasing, and even the obese–asthma phenotypes are postulated. Obese children with asthma experience more asthma symptoms, more frequent exacerbations, and worse response to treatment; they also report a lower quality of life compared with lean asthmatics. Some of the etiological factors for asthma and obesity may overlap. Perhaps asthma and obesity share a common genetic and immunologic origin. Diet is a compelling modifiable factor in obesity and asthma prevention and control, although the relationship between these two diseases is certainly multifactorial. In this article, we analyze the impact of dietary intervention and weight loss in obese children on asthma prevention and control.

“…Western-style type (WD) is primarily characterized by high content of animal proteins, fat and refined carbohydrates, which are strongly associated with elevated risks of diseases by promoting body weight gain and changes in energy metabolism and immune system activation ( 3 , 4 ). In addition, WD has been implicated with negative outcomes on the airway inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) ( 5 ). On the other hand, plant-based diets, which are enriched in dietary fibers (DFs), are known to beneficially modulate energy metabolism, systemic immunity and microbiota composition, thus contributing to disease prevention ( 6 , 7 ).…”

“…A diet based on fruits, vegetables, and whole grains was shown to mitigate the inflammatory responses in COPD ( 5 ). Furthermore, low fiber diets are associated with reduced diversity of the intestinal microbiota and an imbalanced ratio of metabolites produced by these microorganisms, a process known as dysbiosis, which is involved in the genesis of several pathologies including respiratory diseases ( 7 , 10 ).…”

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are metabolites released by bacterial components of the microbiota. These molecules have a wide range of effects in the microbiota itself, but also in host cells in which they are known for contributing to the regulation of cell metabolism, barrier function, and immunological responses. Recent studies indicate that these molecules are important players in the gut-lung axis and highlight the possibility of using strategies that alter their intestinal production to prevent or treat distinct lung inflammatory diseases. Here, we review the effects of the SCFA butyrate and its derivatives in vitro and in vivo on murine models of respiratory disorders, besides discussing the potential therapeutic use of butyrate and the other SCFAs in lung diseases.
