If you are obese then you will have to get rid of it as soon as possible, as a new study by the scientists from the National Jewish Medical Research Center, unveils that obese people are at 50 per cent higher risk of developing asthma or other respiratory diseases.
Scientists came up with this conclusion after going through a review of seven studies, which studied weight and asthma link in more than 333,000 people.
How far findings of this study are reliable, still it is difficult to answer. However, looking from the eyes of these findings it could be asserted that if people manage to check this rise in obesity then, definitely they could stave off the risk of developing asthma and other respiratory diseases.
On the other end, if we look at the whole situation with by keeping in view the harsh fact that obesity is on the rise world-wide, then we can’t get away from the fact that the world is inching its way to a point where it would be quite susceptible to respiratory diseases like asthma. Or we could say that after obesity and HIV/AIDS, it is turn of asthma to emerge as a new pandemic.
