Asthma and obesity are highly prevalent diseases with a significant impact on public health. Obesity exacerbates the development and severity of asthma through the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and mediators, such as leptin, by adipose tissue. This systematic review and meta-analysis examine the relationship between leptin and asthma during obesity. The results indicate significant differences in leptin levels and support the relevant role of leptin in the pathophysiology of asthma in obese individuals. Further studies are needed to better understand the relationship between leptin and asthma in obesity.
Asthma and obesity are considered as highly prevalent diseases with a great impact on public health. Obesity has been demonstrated to be an aggravating factor in the pathogenesis of asthma. Adipose tissue secretes proinflammatory cytokines and mediators, including leptin, which may promote the development and severity of asthma in obese patients. This study is a systematic review and a meta-analysis based on the relationship between leptin and asthma during obesity. MEDLINE, Cochrane, EMBASE and CINAHL databases were used. Data heterogeneity was analyzed using Cochran's Q and treatment effect with the DerSimonian and Laird method. Random effect analyses were carried out to test data sensitivity. Asymmetry was estimated using Begg's and Egger's tests. All studies showed significant differences in leptin levels. The effect of the measures (p < 0.001), data sensitivity (p < 0.05) and data asymmetry were statistically significant, as well as tBegg's test (p = 0.010) and Egge's test (p < 0.001). Despite the existing limiting factors, the results of this study support the relevant role of leptin in the pathophysiology of asthma in obese subjects. Nevertheless, further studies are needed to obtain better insight in the relationship between leptin and asthma in obesity.
