However, girls with active asthma had significantly lower moderate\u2010to\u2010vigorous physical activity (MVPA) levels than their peers with adjusted geometric mean ratio of 0.59 (95% CI: 0.369, 0.929, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2010value\u2009=\u20090.024). No difference in physical and sedentary activity levels was observed between asthmatic and non\u2010asthmatic boys. The difference between genders in the comparison of MVPA levels in asthmatics and controls was statistically significant (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2010value of likelihood ratio test [LRT] for effect modification by gender\u2009=\u20090.034).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Unlike boys, girls with active asthma appear to be less active than their healthy peers, and this gender difference might explain the inconsistent evidence from previous reports on physical activity levels in asthmatic children.

asthmatic children. <jats:bold>Pediatr Pulmonol. 2015; 50:317\u2013326.<\/jats:bold> \u00a9 2014 Wiley Periodicals,
