   摘要
   尽管全球已有不同的研究，我们对于儿童肥胖和哮喘对生活质量的协同影响的了解仍然十分有限。本文讨论肥胖和哮喘对低收入非裔美国青少年生活质量自我评价的影响。当需要控制症状频繁发作的影响的时候，哮喘分类、自信心和自我护理级别、体重指数仍然是青少年哮喘患者自我评估生活质量最重要的因素。尽管超重和肥胖并不能改变哮喘干预项目的有效性，但肥胖确实影响了受试者的生活质量评分。

Abstract
Widely researched as separate entities, our understanding of the comorbid effects of childhood obesity and asthma on quality of life is limited. This article discusses the effects of childhood obesity and asthma on self-reported quality of life in low-income African American teens with asthma. When controlling for the influence of symptom frequency, asthma classification, asthma self-efficacy, and asthma self-care levels, body mass index remains a most important factor in determining self-reported quality of life among teens with asthma. Although overweight and obesity did not change the effectiveness of the asthma intervention program, obesity did affect participants quality of life scores.
