Exploring the connection between obesity and asthma

Because patients who are affected by obesity have a higher chance of developing asthma, it’s important for them to know how to control both. This brochure from the Obesity Action Coalition, available at https://www.obesityaction.org/educational-resources/resource-articles-2/obesity-related-diseases/obesity-and-asthma, discusses the different mechanisms that may influence the relationship between obesity and asthma. The brochure also delves into the effects of weight loss on asthma, and the best ways to manage asthma flare-ups.
