Obese Children More Likely To Be Admitted For Asthma
A new study reveals that obese children with asthma are significantly more likely to be admitted to the hospital for acute asthma exacerbations than their non-obese counterparts. Researchers from the Connecticut Children's Medical Center conducted a retrospective chart review of 813 children over the age of two, who presented to the emergency department with asthma exacerbations. Twenty-seven percent were admitted to the hospital, and four percent to the intensive care unit. Of the children classified as obese, 34 percent were admitted to the hospital, compared with 25 percent of the non-obese children. The obese children were also more likely to be older and live in an impoverished area. 我认领了. Obese Children More Likely To Be Admitted For Asthma
