Abstract---This study aimed to analyze Correlation between
FEV1/FVC ratio with body mass index (BMI) and absolute eosinophils
in patients with acute exacerbation of asthma. A cross sectional study
based on the medical records of asthma patients from June 2019 to
June 2020, with a total population of 180 cases conducted at
Mataram City Regional General Hospital, West Nusa Tenggara. The
data were analyzed using multiple linier regression using SPSS. The
data collected showed that getting older reduces the value of
FEV1/FVC, but it is not statistically significant (b= -0.03; 95% CI= -
0.18 to 0.13; p= 0.746). Male gender has a lower probability of having
a FEV1/FVC value than female sex, but it is not statistically
significant (b= -2.78; 95% CI= -6.38 to 0.83; p= 0.130). An increase in
the eosinophil score reduced the FEV1/FVC value by 6.03 units and
was statistically significant (b= -6.03; 95% CI= -7.80 to -4.26; p<
0.001). An increase in body mass index decreased the FEV1/FVC
value by 1.22 units and was statistically significant (b= -1.22; 95%
CI= -1.71 to -0.75; p< 0.001).
Keywords---BMI, absolute eosinophils, asthma, FEV1/FVC.
