Background: Asthma and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are prevalent chronic respiratory disorders, which often coexist and interact with each other. Obesity is an important risk factor shared by them. The rate of obesity is lower in Japan versus Western countries. Hence, the co-existence of asthma and OSA has not been investigated in Japan. Methods: Ninety-seven outpatients with asthma were recruited. Patients wore a portable monitor for sleep study. Background data, pulmonary function, blood tests, and patient-reported outcomes including gastroesophageal reflux disease, sleepiness, sleep quality, asthma control, cough and respiratory symptoms, and health status, were assessed. Results: Of the patients, 19 (19.6 %), 40 (41.2 %), 24 (24.7 %), and 14 (14.4 %) were classified into non-, mild, moderate, and severe OSA groups.
