T2  - Obesity Medicine: Management of Obesity in Women's Health Care
AB  - Obesity  alters  lung  function,  can  cause  symptoms  suggesting  asthma,  and  may  worsen  preexisting  asthma.  The  precise  mechanisms  on  how  obesity  leads  to  or  worsens  asthma  are  not  well  elucidated.  A  combination  of  mechanical  factors,  adipose-released  inflammatory  mediators,  and  immune  system  activation  appears  likely  responsible  for  the  “obese-asthma”  phenotype.
