Evaluation of bronchial hyperresponsiveness in asthmatic paediatric patients using mannitol challenge test – Impacts of body mass index
A high prevalence of AHR (>50%) was found in asthmatic children who self-evaluated with good asthma control. No significant influence of the BMI on the AHR severity could be demonstrated in this population with the "indirect" mannitol challenge test. Since only a small number of overweight/obese subjects were recruited in the present study, further verification of the results with a larger sample size of obese subjects is required.
