Resumo(s)
Background: Asthma is one of the most prevalent chronic respiratory diseases worldwide, and although its prevalence is higher in high-income countries, most asthma-related deaths are in low- and middle-income countries. The lung and intestine are connected through intricate communication pathways that influence each other’s equilibrium. Metabolites generated by the gut microbiome, along with intestinal immune cells and immune factors, travel through the bloodstream to the lungs, where they contribute to immune function. The main aim of this study was to perform a case-control study to investigate the association between asthma and gut microbiome in an adult Angolan population from Luanda.
