ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the relationship between moderate-severe asthma and development in children.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 389 children in the state of moderate-severe persistent asthma were enrolled, which were divided into moderate (226 cases) and severe group (163 cases). According to age, each group was divided into three groups 3-year-old (85 cases and 63 cases), 5-year-old (76 cases and 52 cases) and 7 to 10 year-old (65 cases and 48 cases). Meanwhile, 298 healthy children in the same age group were enrolled as control, of which 3-year-old were 96 cases, 5-year-old were 92 cases and 7 to 10 year-old were 110 cases. Height, weight and lung function were measured respectively.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>3-year-old of severe group, the value of height, the value of weight, the percentage of height, the percentage of weight, the SDS of height, the SDS of weight [(98.54 ± 7.75) cm, (14.87 ± 2.46) kg, 50.30% ± 16.31%, 50.27% ± 18.29%, 0.11 ± 0.66, 0.06 ± 0.49, respectively] were lower than the moderate group of the same age group ((103.58 ± 5.48) cm, (16.60 ± 2.21) kg, 65.80% ± 18.54%, 65.10% ± 18.92%, 0.46 ± 0.53, 0.45 ± 0.54, respectively) and the control group ((105.60 ± 6.29) cm, (17.82 ± 2.82) kg, 72.37% ± 11.37%, 71.92% ± 2.82%, 0.66 ± 0.62, 0.66 ± 0.52), the difference was significant (F values were 7.295, 8.034, 15.246, 10.745, 8.026, 10.864, respectively, P < 0.05).5-years of severe group, the value of height, the value of weight, the percentage of height, the percentage of weight, the SDS of height, the SDS of weight ((110.10 ± 7.36) cm, (18.76 ± 3.20) kg, 45.86% ± 18.92%, 41.69% ± 12.50%, -0.95 ± 0.42, -0.23 ± 0.34, respectively) were lower than the moderate group of the same age group ((117.76 ± 6.35) cm, (21.63 ± 2.75) kg, 61.81% ± 20.75%, 61.79% ± 18.92%, 0.36 ± 0.62, 0.38 ± 0.56) and the control group ((119.90 ± 5.78) cm, (22.80 ± 3.07) kg, 68.97% ± 18.59%, 66.27% ± 18.35%, 0.57 ± 0.65, 0.48 ± 0.63), the difference was significant (F values were 8.351, 7.864, 15.037, 13.921, 12.116, 11.725, respectively, P < 0.05).7 to 10 years-old of severe group, the value of height, the value of weight, the percentage of height, the percentage of weight, the SDS of height, the SDS of weight ((123.50 ± 9.52) cm, (23.82 ± 5.72) kg, 45.81% ± 15.51%, 42.63% ± 14.91%, -0.06 ± 0.48, -0.02 ± 0.61, respectively) were lower than the moderate group of the same age group ((129.1 ± 8.41) cm, (26.70 ± 5.72) kg, 66.84% ± 16.09%, 64.07% ± 18.58%, 0.48 ± 0.46, 0.42 ± 0.49) and the control group ((131.87 ± 7.71) cm, (28.06 ± 6.01) kg, 71.44% ± 12.70%, 69.64% ± 16.20%, 0.60 ± 0.43, 0.60 ± 0.51), the difference was significant(F values were 6.136, 6.678, 57.316, 37.893, 37.210, 34.152, respectively, P < 0.05). 3-, 5-, 7 to 10 year-old of moderate group, the value of height, the value of weight, the percentage of height, the percentage of weight, the SDS of height, the SDS of weight dropped compared to the control group of the same age, but no significant difference was found (t values were -2.008, -1.988, -1.810, -1.879, -1.713, -1.844, -1.904, -2.019, -1.605, -1.017, -1.411, -0.713, -1.881, -1.896, -1.746, -1.906, -1.523, -1.864, respectively, P > 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The height and weight of children with severe asthma were lower than those of normal children or with moderate asthma.</p>
