IMPACT OF PEDIATRIC OBESITY ON LUNG PHYSIOLOGY
The findings of this review highlight the complexity and heterogeneity of asthma in children and imply that deficits observed in lung function of pediatric asthma patients might be due to obesity-related systemic inflammation, mechanical overload, metabolic dysfunction, oxidative stress and hormonal effects of excess body fat including disproportionate lung growth.
THE ROLE OF FISH INTAKE ON ASTHMA IN CHILDREN: A META-ANALYSIS OF OBSERVATIONAL STUDIES
Despite advances in pharmacotherapy, globally, the asthma epidemic
in children is a major public health problem as it continues to rise. Asthma is associated with morbidity, substantial healthcare costs and decreased quality of life
DOES ADHERENCE TO THE MEDITERRANEAN DIETARY PATTERN REDUCE ASTHMA SYMPTOMS IN CHILDREN? A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF OBSERVATIONAL STUDIES
Asthma remains a global public health problem of epic proportions, especially in children and adolescents. Asthma is a complex respiratory disorder characterized by symptoms that include wheezing, chest tightness, coughing (especially at night) and breathlessness resulting from air flow obstruction triggered by the interaction of genetic and environmental factors.
POTENTIAL ROLE OF FOLATE STATUS ON PULMONARY FUNCTION IN PEDIATRIC ASTHMA
Asthma has been described as an umbrella of several discrete disease entities of multifactorial etiology caused by complex interactions between genetic, environmental, and behavioral factors
SUFFICIENT VITAMIN D STATUS POSITIVELY MODIFIED VENTILATORY FUNCTION IN ASTHMATIC CHILDREN FOLLOWING A MEDITERRANEAN DIET ENRICHED WITH FATTY FISH INTERVENTION STUDY
Low vitamin D status has been reported to be common among children with asthma in a variety of settings. According to a recent systematic review and meta-analysis undertaken by Jat et al (2017), emerging evidence from observational studies suggest a link between vitamin D deficiency and asthma in children.

FATHERS’S DAILY INTAKE OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES IS POSITIVELY ASSOCIATED WITH CHILDREN’S FRUIT AND VEGETABLE CONSUMPTION PATTERNS IN EUROPE: THE FEEL4DIABETES-STUDY
The development of children’s food preferences is multifactorial, involving the complex interplay between genetics and environmental factors, including the home.
HOW DO THE HOME FOOD ENVIRONMENT, PARENTING PRACTICES, HEALTH BELIEFS AND SCREEN TIME AFFECT THE WEIGHT STATUS OF EUROPEAN CHILDREN? THE FEEL4DIABETES-STUDY
Secular trends from population-based studies reveal that the prevalence of childhood obesity has accelerated at an alarming rate, particularly in East and South Asia and plateaued in Northwest Europe and high-income English-speaking countries, although at high levels.
NUTRIENT INTAKE, EPIGENETICS AND ASTHMA
External insults can stimulate epigenetic changes via three main mechanisms: DNA methylation, histone modification (posttranscriptional histone modification, ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes), and small and noncoding RNAs, which could play a critical role in T cell differentiation and novel aspects of asthma progression
APPLICATION OF METABOLOMICS IN PEDIATRIC ASTHMA: PREDICTION, DIAGNOSIS AND PERSONALIZED TREATMENT
Metabolic profiling is appropriate for the study of complex diseases with a genetic and environmental etiology such as asthma because it has the potential to capture the history of the cellular response to past exposures.
