Abstract
Background
Obesity and metabolic dysregulation (MetD) have increasing prevalence and adversely affect asthma morbidity and therapeutic response.
Objective
To determine the role of weight and MetD on incident asthma in adulthood.
Methods
In a retrospective, longitudinal cohort of patients, we performed a time-to-asthma diagnosis analysis after a 3-year landmark period (t0-t3) during which weight and MetD components were evaluated. We assessed incident asthma risk with MetD components and weight.
Results
In total, 90,081 patients met the inclusion criteria, with 836 cases (0.93%) of incident asthma in our primary cohort. Diabetes present at t0, but no other MetD components, was associated with increased risk of asthma (adjusted hazard ratio = 1.85, 95% CI: 1.27-2.71, P = .0002). The effect of weight on asthma risk, independent of other MetD components, identified individuals with overweight or obesity as having a 10-year attributable risk of 15.4%. Metformin was prescribed more frequently, and hemoglobin A1c levels were lower in patients with diabetes in whom asthma did not develop (P < .0001).
Conclusion
Weight and diabetes prevention and management represent modifiable risk factors for adult asthma development.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology is a scholarly medical journal published monthly by the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology. The purpose of Annals is to serve as an objective evidence-based forum for the allergy/immunology specialist to keep up to date on current clinical science (both research and practice-based) in the fields of allergy, asthma, and immunology. The emphasis of the journal will be to provide clinical and research information that is readily applicable to both the clinician and the researcher. Each issue of the Annals shall also provide opportunities to participate in accredited continuing medical education activities to enhance overall clinical proficiency.
