Obesity May Raise Girls' Risk of Asthma, Allergies
MONDAY, March 6, 2017 (HealthDay News) -- Obese girls may face a significantly higher risk for developing allergies, a new study suggests. The researchers found that obese girls had allergy scores higher than normal-weight girls: 4 vs. 2.6. But the researchers found the opposite was true for obese boys: They may actually face a slightly diminished risk for asthma, food allergies and eczema when compared to normal-weight boys. In contrast, obese boys were found to have slightly lower allergy scores than normal-weight boys: 3 vs. 3.4. The upshot, said Nagarajan, is the possibility "that lifestyle modification therapies and exercise and diet programs may be specifically beneficial to urban obese girls."collected by :Lucy William
