“…Body weight could also affect PA. A recent paper by Rockette-Wagner et al studied the relationship between PA and BMI in 260 adults with asthma ( 9 ). The data showed that the average daily steps were significantly related to BMI ( p < 0.001), and this association was attenuated and not significant after adjusting for covariate.…”

“…A recent study examined whether PA was related to body mass index (BMI) and asthma control in 206 asthma patients ( 9 ). The results showed that obese individuals (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m 2 ) with uncontrolled asthma (Asthma Control Questionnaire score > 0.75) walked approximately 2,000 fewer steps than non-obese individuals with good disease control ( p ≤ 0.05).…”

BackgroundIndividuals with asthma spend less time engaging in physical activity compared to the general population. Increasing physical activity has become a patient-centered goal for the treatment of treatable traits of individuals with asthma. There are data showing the possible effects of a pulmonary rehabilitation program on physical activity in obese individuals with asthma but not in normal-weight asthmatics. The objective of this feasibility study is to estimate the number of daily steps and time spent on activity in normal-weight individuals with asthma, measured before and after a pulmonary rehabilitation program.MethodsNormal-weight individuals with moderate to severe asthma were evaluated. The individuals measured their daily steps with an accelerometer for 5 days before and after a pulmonary rehabilitation program. The study was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT05486689.ResultsIn total, 17 participants were enrolled; one dropout and data on the time in activity of two individuals are missing due to a software error during the download. Data from 16 patients were analyzed. The median number of steps/day at baseline was 5,578 (25th, 75th percentiles = 4,874, 9,685) while the median activity time was 214 min (25th, 75th percentiles = 165, 239). After the rehabilitation program, the number of daily steps increased by a median value of 472 (p-value = 0.561) and the time in activity reduced by 17 min (p-value = 0.357). We also found a significant difference in quality of life, muscle strength, and exercise capacity.ConclusionsThe results of this study make it possible to calculate the sample size of future studies whose main outcome is daily steps in normal-weight individuals with asthma. The difficulties encountered in downloading time in activity data do not allow the same for this outcome.Clinical Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov, identifier NCT05486689.
