Summary
Asthma is a common, long-term disease that is caused by inflammation of the airways.
Inflammation also plays a role in obesity and may affect the way a person responds to asthma
medication. This study will examine the relationship between obesity and inflammation and the
effect they have on response to corticosteroid asthma medications.
