title: [Asthma and obesity: related inflammatory diseases].
abstract: Asthma and obesity are diseases that have increased their prevalence parallely in the last years, becoming health problems in our country. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease and in the last years obesity has also been catalogued as a systemic inflammatory disease considering that adipose tissue is an endocrine organ that produces cytokines that can promote severity of asthma; therefore generating interest in the investigators to perform studies that can relate both conditions.
