Background
A prevalence rate of asthma and obesity is on the increase consistently all over the world. Naturally, there are already the study results in order that obesity is related to asthma, however, most of the studies are on the basis of adult and young child except for youth. Especially, there are few studies on the basis of the group which is representative of youth. Thus, this study examined the relationship between BMI and asthma of youth in our country by means of the data of 9th on-line survey of youth health behavior in 2013.

Subjects and Method
The subjects of study are 72,435 middle and high school students by sampling in 9th on-line survey of youth health behavior in 2013 as a national unit. Height and weight are used by the recorded value of questionnaire. Also, height and weight are used for BMI calculation (Body Mass Index = weight (kg)/ [height (m)]²). The definition of the case of lifelong asthma (doctor's diagnosis) is the subjects who say ‘YES’ to the question of “Have you ever been diagnosed as ‘asthma’ by doctor in all your born days?”. For the study method, multi-variable logistic regression analysis is used for odds ratio. And then, it estimates 95 percent of confidence-interval.

Results
There are 36,655 male students out of 72,435 youths in total, which is 50.6 percent of total youths. As for female students, there are 35,780 youths, 49.4 percent of total youths. The prevalence rate of lifelong asthma of youth is 9.3 percent. The prevalence rate of lifelong asthma of male students is 10.4 percent, whereas the prevalence rate of lifelong asthma of female students is 8.3 percent. According to the increase of BMI in both male and female students as study subjects, the estimated prevalence rate of asthma is also on the increase accordingly. In both male and female students, when 1kg/m² of BMI is on the increase, 1.02 times (95% CI: 1.01-1.04) of the odds ratio of lifelong asthma is higher. That is, it has a significant meaning statistically.

Conclusion
For the effective management and prevention on asthma and obesity of youths, it is necessary to use the clinical measurement tool for asthma diagnosis. Furthermore, the clear investigation of a causal relationship between obesity and asthma is needed as a prospective and epidemiological study.
