| Abstract |
Obesity is a risk factor for the development of asthma. In patients with obesity the diagnosis of asthma is often based on symptoms, but without objective measurements. Nevertheless, obesity-associated asthma is recognized as a distinct asthma phenotype. Therefore, this study explores lung function and symptoms in asthma patients with and without obesity. The Netherlands Epidemiology of Obesity (NEO) study is a population-based cohort study with 6671 participants (aged 45-65 years) of whom 472 had asthma. Of this latter group, linear regression analysis was used to examine differences in lung function and symptoms between asthma patients with (n = 248) and without obesity (n = 224), and between asthma patients with and without increased FeNO. Analyses were adjusted for confounders. Asthma patients with obesity had lower predicted FEV1 and FVC values than patients without obesity [adjusted mean difference (MD) -3.3% predicted, 95% CI -6.5, -0.2; adjusted MD -5.0% predicted, 95% CI -7.8, -2.1]. The prevalence of symptoms was higher in patients with obesity. Asthma patients with obesity and with increased FeNO had lower FEV1 and FEV1/FVC values compared with those with low FeNO (adjusted MD -6.9% predicted, 95% CI -11.7, -2.0; -2.4%, 95% CI -4.6, -0.2). Asthma patients with obesity had lower FEV1 and FVC values than patients without obesity. This suggests that patients with obesity have restrictive lung function changes, rather than obstructive changes. Asthma patients with obesity and increased FeNO showed more obstructive changes. FeNO might help to identify patients with eosinophilic inflammation-driven asthma, whereas patients with low FeNO might have an obesity-associated asthma phenotype in which symptoms are partly caused by the obesity. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 11. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 June 2018.
All research outputs
#3,275,996
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Respiratory Research
#403
of 3,062 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#68,256
of 446,047 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Respiratory Research
#11
of 54 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 86th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,062 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.9. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 446,047 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 54 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its contemporaries.
