ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To analyze the bidirectional association between wheezing and obesity during adolescence and the beginning of adulthood in a cohort in southern Brazil.METHODS:
This prospective longitudinal study used data from the 1993 birth cohort in Pelotas, Brazil. The following outcome variables were measured at 22 years of age self-reported wheezing during the last 12 months and obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2). The following exposure variables were measured at ages 11, 15, and 18 self-reported wheezing (no wheezing or symptom presentation in 1, 2, or 3 follow-ups) and obesity (non-obese or obese in 1, 2, or 3 follow-ups). Crude and adjusted logistical regression stratified by sex were used in the analyses. The reference category was defined as participants who presented no wheezing or obesity.RESULTS:
A total of 3,461 participants had data on wheezing and 3,383 on BMI. At 22 years of age, the prevalence of wheezing was 10.1% (95%CI 9.1; 11.2), and obesity, 16.2% (95%CI 15.0; 17.6). In females, the presence of wheezing in two follow-ups revealed a 2.22-fold (95%CI 1.36; 3.61) greater chance of developing obesity at 22 years of age. Meanwhile, the presence of obesity in two follow-ups resulted in a 2.03-fold (95%IC 1.05; 3.92) greater chance of wheezing at 22 years of age. No associations were found between wheezing and obesity in males.CONCLUSIONS:
The obtained data suggest a possible positive bidirectional association between wheezing and obesity, with greater odds ratios in the wheezing to obesity direction in females and in the category of occurrence of exposure in two follow-ups.
