Introduction: The prevalence of asthma and obesity has risen in parallel over the last decades, but the exact mechanisms linking these two diseases still remain unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the associations between bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR), impaired glucose metabolism, obesity, and asthma in prepubertal children. Methods: A total of 71 prepubertal children were...

Methods: Twenty‐one allergic asthmatics (AA) and 10 non‐allergic healthy controls, aged...
