Effect estimates for Asthma Control Questionnaire change from baseline to 12 months by weight change category among all participants regardless of treatment assignment
| Weight Change, % | All Participants (Control, Intervention), n | ACQ Change, Mean (95% CI) | 1-Sample Cohen d | ACQ Decrease ≥ 0.5, OR (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weight gain ≥ 3% | 57 (36, 21) | −0.24 (−0.45, −0.03) | 0.30 | 1.24 (0.61, 2.54) |
| Stable weight < ±3% | 117 (64, 53) | −0.08 (−0.22, 0.06) | 0.10 | Reference |
| Weight loss 3 to <5% | 29 (13, 16) | −0.11 (−0.54, 0.33) | 0.10 | 1.67 (0.70, 4.02) |
| Weight loss 5 to <10% | 49 (23, 26) | −0.33 (−0.59, −0.07) | 0.36 | 2.19 (1.08, 4.46) |
