چکیده

Background: obesity is commonly regarded as a risk factor for asthma development,poor asthma control,and poor response to asthma therapy. methods: in a cross‑sectional study,85 asthmatics (37 male and 48 female) participated. pulmonary function tests (pfts) and anthropometric parameters were measured for each patient. results: mean age and median duration were 43.9 ± 10.61 and 6 (3–14) years,respectively. among anthropometric parameters,only waist‑to‑hip ratio (whr) indicated significant correlation with pfts in both sex (p < 0.05). there were negative associations between waist circumference,hip circumference and whr with pfts only in overweight and obese women (p < 0.05). conclusions: some anthropometric parameters affected lung function,and it seems that gender differentially contributes to this effect. © 2015 alipour b.
