Association between asthma and visceral adipose tissue in adults, a cross-sectional study from NHANES 2011-2018.

ABSTRACT: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects millions of people worldwide. Obesity, particularly visceral adipose tissue (VAT), is known to secrete adipokines and pro-inflammatory factors, which are closely associated with various metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Research indicates that these metabolic disturbances can exacerbate inflammatory conditions, contributing to both cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, including asthma. Despite these associations, studies on the specific relationship between VAT and asthma remain limited and warrant further investigation. Utilizing the NHANES database from 2011 to 2018, we included a total of 11,137 participants. Multivariable regression analysis was performed, stratifying subjects based on VAT levels and adjusting for various c
