Prevalence of Eosinophilic Inflammation by FeNO Threshold

Lean
(N=211)		 Overweight
(N=198)		 Obese
(N=243)		 P-value
FeNO Threshold >25 ppb N=191 N=177 N=212 0.010*
Eosinophilic 99 (51.8) 103 (58.2) 91 (42.9)
FeNO Threshold >50 ppb N=189 N=137 N=165 0.311
Eosinophilic 68 (35.9) 59 (33.3) 61 (28.9)
*

Denotes a statistically significant difference across BMI categories. Data are presented as n (%). Eosinophilic if FENO >25 ppb or >50 ppb (two thresholds); or sputum eosinophils >2%; or blood eosinophils >300 cells/µl. The absence of all three denotes non-eosinophilic status.
