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).
