In a recent research, Dr. Kenneth B. Quinto from the University of California, San Diego, in collaboration with his colleagues, has claimed that obese kids with asthmatic complications are likely to suffer tough time for controlling symptoms.

"Improving nutritional status, preventing obesity, and stressing the importance of weight loss might improve asthma control and exacerbation risk in children and decrease the incidence of asthma in adults”, explained the researchers.

During the study course, experts analyzed data for more than 32,000 asthma diagnosed kids, enrolled with Kaiser Permanente health plan, and observed that obese children make use of around 3.1 rescue inhalers every year, a significant higher number as compared to 2.8 used by normal weighted children.

In addition, the study has also notified significantly increased asthma rates since 1980, and claimed that around 10% of American children are living with the present health condition. Simultaneously, experts have acknowledged that inhaled steroids, including Flovent or Pulmicort, were frequently used by bulky kids rather than normal-weighted children.

Simultaneously, recent report has also claimed that obese kids account for a number of emergency department visits. Figures have exposed 1.9% hospitalization for weighted children and 1.8% for other children.
