Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: High body mass index (BMI) is an established risk factor for asthma, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. OBJECTIVE: To increase understanding of the BMI-asthma relationship by studying the association between genetic predisposition to higher BMI and asthma, infections and other asthma traits during childhood. METHODS: Data were obtained from the two ongoing Copenhagen Prospective Studies on...
