Fat accumulates in the airways inside the body. Researchers claim that those who are overweight, it is.
The study, published in the European Journal of Respiratory Medicine, says that fat can change the structure of the organs responsible for the airflow to the human body. That is a major cause of asthma.

The head of this study is John Eliot of Sir Charles Gardner Hospital in Australia. He said that the internal structure of the lungs of the human body and respiratory diseases are being studied to see how their composition changes.
After the autopsy, the lungs were donated for the study and stored in 'Airway Tissue Bio-Bank'. The lungs of 52 people were monitored. Of those, 15 were not asthma, 21 were asthma. However, he died for different reasons. And 16 died due to asthma.

Assistant researcher Peter Noble said the body's excess fat reduces inflammation and increases inflammation in the lungs. In our view, the air conduction pathways thicken and reduce the level of ventilation. Asthma increases the risk of getting infected.
