Asthma is the most frequent children's disease, with a tendency of further growth. Bearing in mind controversial data on obesity of asthmatic children and a possible effect of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) on children's growth, the aim of our study was to determine the body mass index (BMI) in asthmatic children at the beginning of the therapy and to study the effect of the continuous application of ICS on growth and BMI during the period of 1 year.
