Demographics and clinical characteristics
Subjects (n=66) were recruited and clinically characterized to assess
asthma severity. Some results from this cohort have been previously
reported [26]. Here we present
additional demographic, clinical and immune data separated by sex (Table
1). Men had a lower ratio of forced expiratory volume in one second
(FEV1) over forced vital capacity (FVC) and a higher
proportion of men had FEV1 (% predicted) below 80%. No
differences in type 2 inflammation were observed when asthmatics were
stratified by sex only (Table 1).
