Sažetak
Obesity is significant global public health issue and one of the most common comorbidities in asthma. It is known that patients with increased body mass index (BMI) have greater risk for asthma development, especially in non-allergic asthma phenotype. Increased BMI can be related with asthma severity, as has been noticed that obese patients with asthma, after weight loss, report decrease in subjective feeling of dyspnea, improvement of spirometric parameters and less frequent disease exacerbations. Our aim was to compare sex related BMI with allergic and non-allergic asthma in order to conclude if sex affects the obesity–asthma relationship.
