Background and aim: Physical activity is thought to be important not only for healthy children but also for asthmatic children from medical point of view. Some epidemiological studies revealed positive association between asthmatics and overweight (obesity). In order to verify the decreased physical activity in asthmatic children, a comparative study to measure objective physical activity is needed. We measured daily steps of asthmatic children by using accelerometers and evaluated the difference between the steps of asthmatic children and healthy controls. Method: Fifty seven asthmatic children from the fourth to the sixth grade of Japanese elementary school agreed to join this study in our allergic outpatients units and used pedometers with the exercise intensity measurement function (OMRON HJ151) during 2 weeks. We measured their physical activity by using daily average steps and exercise steps during moderate to severe exercise, and evaluated weekday activity and holiday activity. These data were analyzed by comparing with those of age and weight matched controls. Results: We obtained answers from 39 asthmatic children. Compared with health male controls, weekday average steps, weekday average exercise steps, and holiday average exercise steps of male asthmatic children was fewer, respectively (p=0.003, p<0.001, p=0.037). Conclusion: Asthmatic children who receive treatment in the allergic outpatients units, especially boys, engaged in lower steps than healthy ones. This result suggests that asthma may cause decreased physical activity in children.

A case involved a 39-year-old female nurse in a health-care facility for elderly individuals requiring long-term care, who presented with insufficient control of bronchial asthma. Although she did not have tinea, she had opportunities for contact with patients who did. Careful interview of history suggested a relationship between asthma exacerbation and workplace, so we measured the specific IgE antibody to Trichophyton and confirmed a positive result. As occupational exposure to Trichophyton was considered as a cause of asthma exacerbations, avoidance of Trichophyton as well as antiasthma treatment was conducted and symptoms improved. Identification and avoidance of specific allergens is essential for successful long-term management of asthma. However, measurement of specific IgE antibody to Trichophyton is not routinely performed, although this fungus could induce not only tinea, but also asthma. The possibility that occupational exposure to trichophyton could exacerbate asthma symptoms needs to be kept in mind, particularly in the case of nurses who may be in contact with elderly individuals with tinea.
