▌obesityversusAllergic diseasesPotential pathogenic mechanisms

1. Obese individuals' adipose tissue releases more than 600 adipokines and inflammatory mediators (such as leptin, tumor necrosis factor TNF-α, IL-1β, etc.), directly or indirectly causing local and systemic chronic inflammation.

2. Obese patients have lower gut microbiota diversity.

3. Excess fat in the chest and abdomen (high waist-to-hip ratio, WHR) restricts the movement of the rib cage and diaphragm, increases breathing resistance, and reduces lung compliance.

4. Obese patients experience alterations in their skin microbiome (e.g., colonization of Corynebacterium is associated with high BMI and lipogenesis).
