Abstract

There is a strong link between asthma and metabolic syndrome. This relationship has been shown by various researchers. A bidirectional relationship exists between asthma and metabolic syndrome. The aim of this study was to access the correlation between metabolic syndrome and asthma Using internet search, a comprehensive literature review was done and words such as asthma, respiratory problems, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, metabolic syndrome, obesity, insulin resistance were searched from Google scholar, Yahoo, Pubmed, Medline, Web MD, Scopus to check for various articles published on this subject. The references of the relevant articles were also searched. Analyses of results of various studies from various parts of the world were considered and their prevalences were noted to access the correlation between asthma and metabolic syndrome. Obesity, which is a component of metabolic syndrome is a risk factor for asthma. This study concludes with evidences from various studies that there is a strong link between asthma and metabolic syndrome.
