Children with obesity are at increased risk for developing asthma that is difficult to control. A complicating factor to asthma management among these children is likely the commonplace co-morbidities that also result from obesity. We discuss three common obesity-related comorbidities which appear to complicate the effective management of asthma, including hypovitaminosis D, obstructive sleep apnea and gastro-esophageal reflux. Each conditions requires more research to understand their effects on asthma management.
