In April 2016 Manchester eScholar was replaced by the University of Manchester’s new Research Information Management System, Pure. In the autumn the University’s research outputs will be available to search and browse via a new Research Portal. Until then the University’s full publication record can be accessed via a temporary portal and the old eScholar content is available to search and browse via this archive.

    Abstract

    There is a greater annual increase in body mass index in children with asthma receiving inhaled steroids at a dose > or =400 microg/day (0.5 kg/m2/year; n=100) compared with those receiving < or =200 microg/day (0.1 kg/m2/year; n=98) (P=.0003). This is consistent with an annual increase in body fat in children with asthma receiving > or =400 microg/day of inhaled steroids.
