This study aimed to evaluate the impact of osteoarthritis on the course of asthma, quality of life (QoL), and physical activity in patients with asthma. Methods and Results: This cross-sectional study included 137 patients with moderate asthma. Most patients were overweight or obese (81.8%). All patients were divided into two groups. Group 1 included 46 asthma patients without osteoarthritis (13 men and 33 women, mean age of 51.5710.45 years); Group 2 included 91 patients with asthma and hip and knee OA (23 men and 68 women, mean age of 54.109.17 years). All participants underwent a clinical assessment of diseases, X-ray examination of the knee and hip joints, determination of the Lequesne algofunctional index (LAI), and spirometry. Three questionnaires were used in this study: the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), the Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire standardized version (AQLQ-S), and the Asthma Control Questionnaire (5-item version) (ACQ-5) LAI was predictably higher in Group 2 than in Group 1 (9.77±4.18 vs. 2.35±1.93 points, P
