Abstract

Poor asthma control in adults remains a major challenge, leading to increased morbidity and healthcare usage. Therefore, it is of interest to identify clinical, demographic and behavioral predictors of poor asthma control in 120 adult patients. The results revealed that factors such as smoking, poor medication adherence, high BMI and lower lung function were significant predictors. Multivariate analysis highlighted key modifiable and non-modifiable factors contributing to poor control. This research advances knowledge by emphasizing the importance of early identification and targeted management of these predictors to improve asthma outcomes.
