“…Obesity has a negative impact in asthma, and there are preliminary data showing the benefit of weight reduction on asthma control and quality of life 16 . However, recommendation of diet-induced weight loss in asthma patients is related with the plethora of general health benefits 17 , but it has insufficient evidence yet on asthma control 18 ; for that reason, authors did not include this factor into the modifiable ones.…”

Several modifiable factors leading to poor asthma control have been described. We aimed to determine the proportion of patients with inadequate treatment, adherence to it, or critical mistakes with inhaler technique, and their impact on asthma control. We conducted a cross-sectional multicenter observational study including asthma patients referred from primary to specialist care for the first time. Data collected were adequate prescription according to guidelines, treatment adherence, and disease control. Of the 1682 patients (age 45 ± 17 years, 64.6% men), 35.9% showed inadequate prescription, 76.8% low adherence, and 17% critical mistakes with inhaler technique, with significantly less critical mistakes among Easyhaler users versus other dry powder inhaler users (10.3 versus 18.4%; p < 0.05). Factors related to bad asthma control were inadequate prescription (OR: 3.65), non-adherence to treatment (OR: 1.8), and inhaler misuse (OR: 3.03). A higher number of risk factors were associated with a higher probability of having badly controlled asthma.

“…If the incoming energy is the same as the energy expended, then the weight will be maintained, if the incoming energy is greater than the energy expended, then the rest will be stored as fat so that the weight will increase. A low calorie balanced diet is a diet whose energy content is below normal requirements, enough vitamins and minerals, and enough fiber is useful in the process of weight loss [46,47]. This diet limits energy-dense foods, such as cakes that contain lots of simple carbohydrates and fats and fried foods.…”

“…Even in non-obese individuals, it is known that a greater fat-mass has a negative impact on lung function [60]. Another argument in favour of the relationship between obesity and a poor asthma prognosis is the favourable response to the weight loss, whether by diet and exercise or with bariatric surgery, with improvements in the asthma symptoms and lung function [61][62][63][64].…”

The relationship between obesity and asthma exacerbations is still under debate. The aim of our work is to analyse the relationship between obesity and hospital re-admissions in asthmatics. A review was retrospectively performed on all hospital admissions of adult patients due to asthma exacerbation occurring in our hospital for 11 years. All those cases with asthma as the first diagnosis in the discharge report were included, or those with asthma as the second diagnosis provided when the first diagnosis was respiratory infection or respiratory failure. Only the first hospital admission of each patient was included in this study. The Odds Ratios of a higher incidence of early/late readmissions due to asthma exacerbation were calculated using a binary logistic regression, using the body mass index (BMI) as independent variable, adjusted for all the variables included in the study. The study included 809 patients with a mean age of 55.6 years, and 65.2% were female. The majority (71.4%) were obese or overweight. No significant relationship was observed in the univariate or multivariate analyses between overweight or obesity and the early or late hospital readmissions due to asthma. Therefore, obesity does not seem to be a determining factor in the risk of asthma exacerbations.
