Observational assessment finds no link between diet quality and asthma severity in youth, suggesting genetic and environmental factors predominate.

Children's dietary inflammatory index and diet quality scores did not differ across asthma severity groups, contrary to hypotheses regarding systemic inflammation.
Dietary quality was rated moderate in 89.1% of 202 youth, while mild asthma cases showed significantly higher fiber and iron intake than moderate cases.
Clinical evaluation indicates diet quality may not dictate asthma severity, highlighting the predominant influence of environmental and genetic factors.

Koç et al. (2024) studied this question.
