About this Research Topic
Asthma and obesity are two prevalent chronic conditions with significant global health burdens. Emerging evidence suggests a potential link between these conditions, as individuals with obesity are at an increased risk of developing asthma and experiencing worse asthma outcomes.
This Research Topic aims to investigate the complex interplay between asthma and obesity, explore potential underlying mechanisms, and identify strategies for improved management and prevention.
Specific themes of interest include but are not limited to:
1. Epidemiological studies on asthma prevalence in obesity
2. The underlying inflammatory pathways and immune dysregulation linking obesity and asthma
3. The potential impact of metabolic dysfunction associated with obesity on airway remodeling in asthma
4. The impact of weight management interventions on asthma outcomes in individuals with obesity
5. Early-life exposures and interventions related to obesity and their impact on asthma development
All article types accepted by Frontiers are encouraged.
