Binary logistic regression was used. OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; Max, maximum; Min, minimum; BMI, body mass index; FEV1, forced expiratory volume in one second; PEF, peak expiratory flow; FVC, forced vital capacity; MMEF75/25, maximal mid-expiratory flow 75/25; AQLQ, Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire; ACQ, Asthma Control Questionnaires.
