Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to compare the duration of breast milk intake, vitamin D intake, asthma control level and physical activity levels between obese asthmatic children and non-obese children. This was a prospective study in children aged 8-17 years with asthma. Asthma control level was evaluated by asthma control test and physical activity level was evaluated by Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children (IPAQ-C) and leisure time activity scale.

Detailed Description

Asthma and obesity, which are important public health problems and are common in childhood, are chronic diseases. The aim of this study was to compare breastfeeding duration, vitamin D intake, asthma control and physical activity levels between obese asthmatic children and non-obese children.

The study was a prospective study conducted in children aged 8-17 years with asthma. Demographic information of the children was recorded. Asthma control level was assessed by asthma control test and physical activity level was assessed by Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children (IPAQ-C) and leisure time activity scale.

It was conducted as a single-blind, prospective study in which the patients were randomized by simple randomization method as obese asthmatic children (experimental group) and non-obese asthmatic children (control group) according to the order of admission to the hospital.

The demographic characteristics of the children, type of asthma, dietary habits, socioeconomic income level and number of meals were asked to the child; the use of vitamin D in childhood and for how long, whether the child was breastfed or not, how many months the child was breastfed if breastfed, whether the mother had a smoking habit, and whether the mother had urinary tract infection during pregnancy were asked to the mother.

Asthma control level was recorded according to the asthma control test. Body mass index was calculated according to the Center of Disease Control and Prevention. The leisure-time activity scale and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children-C (IPAQ-C) were used to assess physical activity level.

Descriptive questionnaire
