Özet

Objective: Prolonged treatment with low doses of inhaled corticosteroids may affect the growth rate; however, limited data are currently available for body composition parameters in children with asthma. We examined whether treatment with inhaled corticosteroids has an effect on body mass index, basal metabolic rate, percentage body fat, obesity degree, fat mass, and muscle mass in children with mild asthma.
