Methods: Adult patients with asthma were included. Three questionnaires were administered to the patients. and daily step counts were recorded for one week. Asthma control level and severe asthma attacks in the previous year were assessed. Results: A total of 277 patients were included. One hundred eighty-two (65.3%) of the patients were overweight/obese. According to FFQ, none of the food groups were comsumed in recommended levels. According to the IPAQ scores, 82.7% of the patients had mild physical activity. The daily step counts and the PA domain of the HLBS-II in obese patients were lower than the nonobese patients (p = 0.001 and p = 0.034,respectively). The rate of obese patients (n = 9; 50%) was higher in the uncontrolled patients. Conclusion: In our study, the majority of patients were physically inactive. Few patients consumed the recommended amount of foods. Being overweight seems to be a significant barrier to the healthy life behaviors. Although these behaviours do not seem to have an effect on asthma controlling this study, further prospective placebo-controlled studies are needed. © 2022 Elsevier LtdEnglishcorticosteroidadultagedArticleassessment of humansasthmaAsthma Control Testbody massclinical assessmentcomorbiditydiabetes mellitusdisease controldisease severityeating habitfemaleFood Consumption Frequency Questionnaireforced expiratory volumeforced vital capacityhealth behaviorhealthy lifestyleHealthy lifestyle behaviour scalehospitalizationhumanhypertensioninternational physical activity questionnairelung function testmajor clinical studymalemulticenter studynutritionobesitypatient attitudephysical activityscoring systemsmokingspirometryTurkey (republic)Article10.1016/j.obmed.2022.100474
