Overall, more than half of the study participants were found to have good HRQoL. HRQoL among adults with asthma was largely dependent on the level of asthma control. Socio-demographic, clinical, healthcare-related, and medication-related variables were significantly associated with health-related quality of life. Therefore, healthcare providers should include comprehensive asthma education along with an integrated treatment plan to improve asthma control and the HRQoL of patients.
