Measurement of thoracic mobility was performed using cirtometry at the axillary (CAx) and xiphoid (CX) levels according to the protocol established by Bockenhauer et al.\u00a0Asthma prevalence, history, symptoms, and associated risk factors were assessed using the self-administered International Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) questionnaire.

The asthmatic group exhibited several identified risk factors, including exposure to dust (47.8%), environmental fumes (30.4%), tobacco smoke (13%), and colds (47.8%). There were no statistically significant differences in anthropometric variables between the two groups. However, the asthmatic group showed significantly reduced thoracic mobility compared to the non-asthmatic group, especially in the CAx measurement (5.82 cm \u00b1 2 for the non-asthmatic group
