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

Key Points

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.

Abstract

Obesity plays a key role in muscle dysfunction on core, upper, and lower limb muscle groups. This reinforces the need for integrated clinical approaches addressing both asthma and obesity.
