Article Abstract
Unlabelled: Pediatric obesity-related asthma is characterized by non-atopic T helper 1 (Th1) inflammation and steroid resistance. CDC42 upregulation in CD4+T cells underliesTh1 inflammation but the CD4+T cell subtype(s) with CDC42 upregulation and their contribution to steroid resistance are not known. Compared to healthy-weight asthma, obesity-alone and healthy-weight controls, single-cell transcriptomics of obese asthma CD4+T cells revealed upregulation in 3 clusters comprised of naïve and central memory T cells, which differed from the cluster enriched for Th1 responses that was comprised of effector T cells. coding for glucocorticoid receptor, was downregulated, while genes coding for NLRP3 inflammasome were upregulated, in clusters with CDC42 upregulation and Th1 responses. Conserved genes in these clusters correlated with pulmonary function deficits in obese asthma. These findings suggest that several distinct CD4+T cell subtypes are programmed in obese asthma for CDC42 upregulation, Th1 inflammation, and steroid resistance, and together contribute to obese asthma phenotype.
Summary: CD4+T cells from obese children with asthma are distinctly programmed for non-allergic immune responses, steroid resistance and inflammasome activation, that underlie the obese asthma phenotype.

Observational Study: Lung Function and Symptom Control in Youth With Asthma up to 34 Months After COVID-19.
Pediatr Pulmonol
September 2025
Department of Pediatrics, Division of Pulmonology, Indiana University of School of Medicine, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA.
Introduction: Prior studies of pediatric asthma control and lung function after COVID-19 have been limited by short follow-up intervals. We aimed to evaluate symptom control and lung function in children with asthma up to 34 months post-COVID-19.
Methods: We conducted a prospective observational chart review study.
Social and Environmental Correlates of Childhood Obesity Among Southern California Communities.
Obesity (Silver Spring)
September 2025
Department of Pediatrics, Saban Research Institute, Children's Hospital Los Angeles, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California, USA.
Objective: This study aimed to identify key childhood obesity correlates in Southern California by analyzing individual components from four social determinants of health (SDoH) indices and explore their interactions.
Methods: We utilized publicly available data from 330 cities across 10 counties, incorporating childhood obesity rates from the 2019 California Department of Education Physical Fitness Test (684,419 children, 40% Latino). Fifty-two individual SDoH were obtained from the Healthy Places Index, Social Vulnerability Index, CalEnviroScreen, and Child Opportunity Index (2015-2019).

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the prevalence of comorbidities in asthmatic and non-asthmatic individuals and to compare groups based on sociodemographic variables.
Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study used data from the 2017 National Household Health Survey (NHHS), which included 6053 individuals aged 15 years and older. The sociodemographic characteristics, behavioral risk factors, and comorbidities of the study participants were analyzed and Pearson chi-squared tests were used to assess statistical significance, and multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted to evaluate the relationships.

The association between asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease overlap (ACO) and insulin resistance (IR) has not been adequately investigated. Triglyceride glucose (TyG) index-related obesity indices offer a novel measure for assessing IR. We aimed to explore the associations between these indices and ACO in US population.

Purpose: Asthma and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are two respiratory diseases that often may coexist, resulting in Alternative Overlap Syndrome (aOVS), which is still underestimated and underdiagnosed.
Objectives: This state-of-art review aims to describe the current evidence on aOVS, including its pathophysiology, clinical, functional and therapeutic implications. A secondary objective is to assess whether aOVS can be identified as a distinct endophenotype needing personalized diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
