CLINICAL AND FUNCTIONAL FEATURES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CONTROL OF ASTHMA AND CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE IN OVERWEIGHT

Abstract

The problem of overweight prevalence is becoming increasingly important not only in countries with high living standards, but also in developing countries, especially among the urban population. The social significance of obesity is determined by the risk of chronic non-communicable diseases in young patients and decreased overall survival. Given the high prevalence among the population of Tomsk Region of obesity and excessive weight seems actual to establish the extent of the actual impact of this disease on lung function, including patients with bronchial asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in Tomsk Region. The study included 9303 residents of the city ofTomsk, aged 18 to 88 that have passed examinations in Health Centers in 2010–2012. Among the methods of examination in health centers performed anthropometry and evaluation of respiratory function (spirometry). The study established a negative correlation between body mass index and respiratory function. The presence of obesity leads to a deterioration of the lung function parameters and associated with significantly reduces of asthma control and quality of life of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. High prevalence of overweight in the population of residents of Tomsk Region and the impact of this disease on the respiratory system seems actual to develop special programs for weight control in patients with bronchial asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and adjust screening preventive actions, paying more attention to the prevention of obesity among the population of the region.
