Summary:
Analysis of the first data on physical activity in daily life (PADL) of Greek patients with asthma and novel comparison against current applicable guidelines and other identified beneficial thresholds, showed borderline levels of PADL with significant room for improvement, especially for patients with severe asthma. In a non-sedentary cohort of severe asthma patients, mepolizumab biological therapy conferred significant and meaningful improvements in PADL.
