Abstract:
Childhood asthma and obesity are significant public health problems all over the world.In the past decades,the prevalence of both diseases has increased considerably.Because both asthma and obesity appear to have their beginnings in early childhood,common exposures that predispose individuals to both conditions may explain how they are associated.These exposures include common genetic predictors,prenatal exposure to specific nutrients and overall maternal nutrition, colonization patterns of the neonatal and infant gut,birth weight and infant weight gain,and sedentary behaviors in early life.
