Description

Metabolic syndrome, characterized by a cluster of interconnected risk factors including obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, has been linked to an increased risk of developing asthma. The underlying mechanisms that connect these seemingly disparate conditions are a subject of growing interest in medical research. Several mechanisms contribute to the heightened asthma risk in individuals with metabolic syndrome. Chronic low-grade inflammation, often present in metabolic syndrome, can exacerbate airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness, leading to asthma symptoms. Adipose tissue, particularly visceral fat, releases inflammatory cytokines that further promote airway inflammation. Insulin resistance and dysregulated glucose metabolism may also play a role by negatively impacting the immune response and lung function. Lifestyle factors such as physical inactivity and poor diet, commonly associated with metabolic syndrome, may contribute to asthma development. Shared genetic factors and epigenetic changes could also contribute to the observed association between the two conditions. Understanding these intricate mechanisms is crucial for developing targeted interventions to mitigate the risk of asthma in individuals with metabolic syndrome and improve their overall respiratory health.
