2 Fig 1 Remission rates by childhood severity. Cohort divided into tertiles of (A) average daily asthma medication usage score (DMUS)4 during clinical trial (P=.001); (B) total serum IgE (P=.05); and (C) number of positive allergy skin tests in childhood (P=.06).

3 Fig 2 Mean (A) height and (B) BMI percentiles from childhood to adulthood. Repeated-measures ANOVA showed no significant time–asthma severity interactions for either height or BMI, so trends in the remission, intermittent, and persistent asthma groups are similar. Error bars indicate 95% CIs. •, Remission; ○, intermittent; ▪, persistent.
