A 1-Year Weight Management Program for Difficult-to-Treat Asthma With Obesity
In this study, the use of a dietitian-supported weight management program resulted in sustained weight loss and is a potential treatment for obesity in asthma. The CWP resulted in a higher proportion achieving MCID improvements in AQLQ compared with UC. Within-group differences in AQLQ and exacerbation frequency suggest potential with the CWP. These encouraging signals justify a larger sample study to further assess asthma-related outcomes.
