Pediatric Obesity-Related Asthma: The Role of Nutrition and Nutrients in Prevention and Treatment

Childhood obesity rates have dramatically risen in numerous countries worldwide. Obesity is likely a factor in increased asthma risk, which is already one of the most widespread chronic respiratory pathologies. The pathogenic mechanism of asthma risk has still not yet been fully elucidated. Moreover...
