To the Editor, We read with interest the work by Shin et al.,1 investigating the global disease burden of allergic disorders. They showed that the age-standardized prevalence of asthma has decreased over time on a global level. Following a similar theme, we curated asthma disease burden, macronutrient (protein, carbohydrate and fat) supply and gross domestic product (GDP) data around the globe (Supplementary Methods: Appendix ).

AbstractProtein leverage (PL) is the phenomenon of consuming food until absolute intake of protein approaches a ‘target value’, such that total energy intake (TEI) varies passively with the ratio of protein: non-protein energy (fat + carbohydrate) in the diet. The PL hypothesis (PLH) suggests that the dilution of protein in energy-dense foods, particularly those rich in carbohydrates and fats, combines with protein leverage to contribute to the global obesity epidemic.
