Fundamento

Valorar la composición corporal en niños con asma moderada.

Población y método

Estudio transversal, dos cohortes homogéneas: grupo 1, niños con asma moderada tratados con budesonida inhalada durante al menos 12 meses ininterrumpidos; grupo 2, niños sanos. Se estudió la composición corporal mediante impedancia bioeléctrica.

Resultados

Los varones asmáticos presentan valores inferiores de masa libre de grasa, y de agua corporal total. Analizadas como porcentaje del peso, las diferencias no son significativas.

Conclusiones

Los niños con asma moderada presentan un menor componente magro.

To assess anthropometric variables and body composition in children with moderate asthma.

Subjects and method

Cross-sectional study of two homogeneous cohorts. Group 1 (study group): 84 children with moderate asthma treated with inhaled budesonide for al least 12 months; group 2 (control group): 89 healthy children. Body measurements were studied by bioelectrical impedance.

Results

Males with moderate asthma showed lower values for fat-free mass and total body water. Data corrected for weight rendered no statistically significant differences.
