摘要

BACKGROUND: Asthma and obesity are associated disorders, but the contribution of obesity to difficult-to-treat asthma as well as the mechanisms responsible for this relationship are unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between obesity (body mass index >/= 30) and factors related with asthma severity in patients with difficult-to-treat asthma. METHODS: One hundred and thirty-six nonsmoking asthmatic adults with persistent symptoms despite high doses of inhaled or oral corticosteroids and long-acting bronchodilators were studied [70% female, median (range) age 44.6 (18-75) years, 32% on daily oral corticosteroids]. The association between obesity, lung function parameters [forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV(1)), functional residual capacity/total lung capacity (FRC/TLC)], inflammatory markers [blood eosinophils, sputum eosinophils and neutrophils, exhaled nitric oxide (FE(NO)), airway hyperresponsiveness, C-reactive protein (CRP)] and aggravating co-morbid factors (severe chronic sinus disease, gastro-esophageal reflux, recurrent respiratory infections, psychopathology and obstructive sleep apnea) was investigated. RESULTS: Obese patients (n = 29) had a higher FEV(1)%pred (P = 0.05) and a lower FRC/TLC%pred (P < 0.01) compared with nonobese patients (n = 107). Body mass index was inversely related with sputum eosinophils (r = -0.36, P < 0.01) and FE(NO) (r = -0.30, P < 0.01). Obese patients had an increased risk for gastro-esophageal reflux (OR = 2.3) and sleep apnea (OR = 3.1). CONCLUSION: Obesity in patients with difficult-to-treat asthma is inversely related with sputum eosinophils and FE(NO), and positively associated with the presence of co-morbid factors and reduced lung volumes. This suggests that other factors than airway inflammation alone explain the relationship between obesity and asthma severity.
