Context And Objective: Obesity and asthma are serious and growing problems. Since adipose tissue produces inflammatory substances, the aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of asthma among students at schools in São José do Rio Preto (Phase 1), and to corroborate the hypothesis for an association between obesity and asthma among these students (Phase 2).
Design And Setting: Cross-sectional study at Faculdade de Medicina de São José do Rio Preto (Famerp).
