Abstract: Of particular importance is carrying out scientific research aimed at identifying pathogenetic mechanisms and prognostic risk factors for bronchial asthma and obesity in children, forming a comprehensive clinical picture of changes, and coordinating methods of prevention and treatment. Purpose of the study: to study the incidence and clinical features of bronchial asthma in obese children. Material and methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of medical histories of children who were treated at the Andijan City Children's Hospital, the Andijan Regional Multidisciplinary Central Clinic, and in the departments of pulmonology and allergology of the Russian Scientific and Practical Medical Center of Pediatrics in 2015-2019. In 2015-2019, 8919 children aged 0 to 18 years with bronchopulmonary pathology were admitted for treatment, of which 485 children were diagnosed with asthma, which amounted to 5.4%, among them there were 293 boys and 192 girls. Each re-applying child was hospitalized 4 to 6 times a year. Results and discussions: the incidence of asthma among children with allergic pathology and bronchopulmonary diseases is 5.4%. The risk of developing obesity in children with bronchial asthma in the presence of obesity in one of the parents in the main group was 1.63 times higher than in the control group, the proportion of excess morbidity (attributable risk) due to the influence of the risk factor is 0.39, the proportion of cases the development of obesity from the studied risk factor (etiological share) is 38.7%, the chance of developing the disease in the group of BA with OB is 5.89 times higher than in the group with BA.
