In adults, overweight (OR=1\u00b734) and obesity (OR=1\u00b780) increased the prevalence of asthma, especially in women (OR=1\u00b753, OR=2\u00b701). Among 13\u201314-year-olds the prevalence was higher only in the obese (OR=1\u00b776). Overweight (OR=1\u00b799) and obesity (OR=2\u00b717) affected the incidence of doctor-diagnosed asthma in 6\u20137-year-olds. Overweight (OR=0\u00b781) and obesity (OR=0\u00b776) reduced the prevalence of allergic rhinitis in men. There was no relationship between BMI and asthma in people from rural areas.

In 13\u201314-year-olds, only obesity increased the prevalence of asthma. In children, overweight was associated with increased prevalence of clinically diagnosed and declared asthma and a trend towards atopy. Higher BMI was negatively associated with the prevalence of allergic rhinitis in overweight and obese man. There was no correlation between BMI and sensitization to
