 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 9 Obesity affect lung function in asthmatic children [Abstract] Objective To observe obesity on pulmonary function of asthmatic children. Methods were chosen properly, obesity, asthma, obesity + children in the 18 cases of asthma, detection of tidal volume (VT, time to peak than the (tPTEF / tE, peak volume ratio (vPTEF / vE, single-factor analysis of variance. Results obese group VT lower than the normal group (P lt;0.05, obese tPTEF / tE, vPTEF / vE lower than the normal group (P lt;0.01, obese + asthma group tPTEF / tE , vPTEF / vE lower than those in the asthma group (P lt;0.01. Conclusion Obesity to lower lung function in asthmatic children. [Keywords:] pulmonary function in asthmatic children obese The current view is that asthma is a multifactorial disease, its causes, including viral infections, allergies, genetic factors [1,3]. In clinical practice, the authors found obese children seem to be more prone to asthma. However, on correlation between obesity and asthma research, has not been determined. This paper through the study of obesity on lung function of children with asthma, obesity and asthma in children to try to understand the correlation. 1 Clinical data 1.1 The experimental design is based on body weight and with asthma were divided into 4 groups of 18 cases. normal group: normal weight, physical examination, no positive signs, chest radiograph without abnormal findings, subjects without respiratory tract infection history of the previous week. obese: obese children to develop standards for UNICEF [4], body weight than normal weight + 2 standard deviation, no positive signs, physical examination, chest radiograph without abnormal findings, subjects without previous week history of respiratory tract infection. asthma group: body weight in the normal range, in line with Institute of Respiratory Diseases, Chinese Medical Association to develop diagnostic criteria for asthma in children [5]. obesi
