Body Mass Index (BMI) in Asthmatics is Associated with Airway Neutrophil Response to Inhaled Endotoxin: A Role for Atopic Inflammation

Increased BMI has been associated with asthma prevalence, severity (airway hyper-responsiveness) and atopy (skin test reactivity), and mouse models of obesity show enhanced airway responses to ozone air pollution.
