Obesity and impaired muscle function in severe asthma: a cross sectional study

Puntos clave

• To investigate the relationship between obesity and muscle function in individuals with severe asthma.
• Cross sectional study design
• Assessment of core, upper, and lower limb muscle groups
• Evaluation of obesity levels in participants
• Analysis of muscle function relative to asthma severity
• Obesity is linked to significant muscle dysfunction across core, upper, and lower limb muscle groups.
• Integrated treatment addressing both asthma and obesity is needed to improve muscle function.
