Asthma and Overweight Individuals
Findings from a French study published this month in the journal Allergy indicate that asthma is more difficult to control in overweight individuals than in their leaner counterparts. The study observed over 400 asthmatics, and concluded that those with a Body Mass Index of 25 or more had a significantly more difficult time gaining control of their asthma.
