<b>Background:</b> Asthma physiology affects respiratory function and inflammation, factors that may contribute to elevated resting energy expenditure (REE) and altered body composition. <b>Objective:</b> We hypothesized that asthma would present with elevated REE compared to weight-matched healthy controls. <b>Methods:</b> Adults with asthma (<i>n</i> = 41) and healthy controls (<i>n</i> = 20) underwent indirect calorimetry to measure REE, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) to measure body ...[more]
