Caregiver's perception of overall health was worse in caregivers of those with co-morbid obesity/asthma than in caregivers of children with asthma alone. This indicates that caregivers of children with co-morbid asthma and obesity have insight into their children's condition and may be primed for discussion and counseling in the healthcare setting.
