TLDR
The emerging comorbid conditions to asthma such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2), and cardiac and psychiatric diseases are reviewed and their role as risk factors for incident asthma and whether they affect clinical asthma are evaluated.Abstract:
Asthma is a heterogeneous disease with many phenotypes, and age at disease onset is an important factor in separating the phenotypes. Most studies with asthma have been performed in patients being otherwise healthy. However, in real life, comorbid diseases are very common in adult patients. We review here the emerging comorbid conditions to asthma such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2), and cardiac and psychiatric diseases. Their role as risk factors for incident asthma and whether they affect clinical asthma are evaluated. Obesity, independently or as a part of metabolic syndrome, DM2, and depression are risk factors for incident asthma. In contrast, the effects of comorbidities on clinical asthma are less well-known and mostly studies are lacking. Cross-sectional studies in obese asthmatics suggest that they may have less well controlled asthma and worse lung function. However, no long-term clinical follow-up studies with these comorbidities and asthma were identified. These emerging comorbidities often occur in the same multimorbid adult patient and may have in common metabolic pathways and inflammatory or other alterations such as early life exposures, systemic inflammation, inflammasome, adipokines, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, lung mechanics, mitochondrial dysfunction, disturbed nitric oxide metabolism, and leukotrienes.read more

Epidemiology of Asthma in Children and Adults.
TL;DR: There is an urgent need to further investigate the interrelationship between environmental and genetic determinants to identify high risk groups and key modifiable exposures and to define the role of environmental exposures in the development of asthma in both children and adults.

TL;DR: Among patients with clinically defined adult-onset asthma, smoking history ≥10 pack-years is associated with accelerated loss of lung function and multivariate regression analysis became a significant predictor of accelerated decline in FEV1.

TL;DR: K-means cluster analysis was performed by using variables from baseline and follow-up visits on 171 patients to identify phenotypes of adult-onset asthma and can be used to predict outcomes of patients withAdult Asthma Study and to aid in development of personalized therapy.

Comorbidities and elevated IL-6 associate with negative outcome in adult-onset asthma

TL;DR: In patients with adult-onset asthma, elevated IL-6 was associated with use of high-dose ICS while multi-morbidity was linked to worse symptoms of asthma.

Epidemiology of multimorbidity and implications for health care, research, and medical education: a cross-sectional study
TL;DR: The findings challenge the single-disease framework by which most health care, medical research, and medical education is configured, and a complementary strategy is needed, supporting generalist clinicians to provide personalised, comprehensive continuity of care, especially in socioeconomically deprived areas.

TL;DR: Both overweight and obesity are associated with the incidence of multiple co-morbidities including type II diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular diseases, and maintenance of a healthy weight could be important in the prevention of the large disease burden in the future.
