Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Asthma is considered a chronic disease, with obstructive characteristics and its effects can harm important aspects of the daily lives of individuals with the disease, who report having limitations in carrying out activities of daily living (ADL). Aim: Verify whether self-reported limitations of ADL correlate with performance in a protocol that objectively assesses this same outcome in adults with asthma. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study composed of adults with asthma. Individuals were assessed for general and anthropometric data, lung function (spirometry), disease control (Asthma Control Test), functional capacity (6-minute walk test, 6MWT) and ADL were objectively evaluated by the Glittre-ADL test objective protocol, circuit performed at maximum speed, with walking activities, going up and down stairs, moving objects on a shelf and carrying a backpack with fur on the back and London Chest Activity of Daily Living questionnaire (LCADL) questionnaire that aims to verify limitations in AVDS due to dyspnea. Sixty-two patients were evaluated, 69,4% female, aged 42±14 years, BMI 28±7kg/m2, FEV1 2.4±0.7 liters and 6MWT 563±89 meters. The assessments of total scale LCADL and its domains showed significant correlations with the Glittre-ADL test (0.263
