ntroduction: Asthma and obesity are considered inflammatory disorders. Inflammatory markers - sputum eosinophils, C-reactive protein (CRP) and the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) were analysed to find their association in obese asthmatics and compared with their asthma control test (ACT) to understand these parameters in this phenotype.
