Higher adherence to an obesity-preventive lifestyle score-consistent with several behaviors for the prevention of childhood overweight/obesity-is negatively associated with obesity indices and lowers the odds for asthma in children. Lifestyle behaviors that contribute to a higher body weight may contribute to the obesity-asthma link. These findings are hypothesis-generating and warrant further investigation in prospective intervention studies.
