@entity1 @entity565 @entity28
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the relationship between @entity28 and @entity565 control in a group of @entity1 with @entity565 . METHODS: In this prospective study, body mass index (BMI) values of 200 @entity565 @entity1 aged 4-18  y who had been regularly followed up by Kartal Education and Research Hospital Pediatric Asthma Outpatient Clinic were calculated. Asthma control test (ACT) and @entity565 control questionnaire (ACQ) were performed. The degrees of @entity565 control were evaluated with regard to BMI values in consideration of the data obtained. RESULTS: The lowest and the highest BMI values were 12.4 and 30.0  kg/m(2), respectively (mean 18.1        2.9). Of the total 200 @entity1 , 110 were @entity1 and 90 were @entity1 . It was found that 17  % of the @entity1 were overweight and 16  % @entity28 . ACT results showed that 72 @entity1 had controlled @entity565 , 102 @entity1 had partially controlled @entity565 and 26 @entity1 had uncontrolled @entity565 . According to ACQ results, 165 @entity1 had controlled @entity565 , 17 @entity1 had partially controlled @entity565 and 18 @entity1 had uncontrolled @entity565 . CONCLUSIONS: Thus, it was found that there was no statistically significant difference between @entity565 control degrees of @entity28 and @entity28 @entity1 . In other words, @entity28 did not affect the @entity565 control level.
