* AND a history of airway obstruction, according to the GINA definition (2017): FEV1/FVC ratio lower than the lower limit of the predicted value at baseline or after a bronchial provocation test
* AND a variability of airway obstruction defined by at least one of the following criteria:
oReversibility of airway obstruction after bronchodilators (400 µg of salbutamol): FEV 1 increases by\> 200 mL and\> 12% compared to baseline
* OR delta peak-flow over the day / average peak-flow averaged over 2 weeks\> 10%
* OR variability in FEV1 between two visits\> 200 mL and\> 12%
* OR an increase in FEV1 of\> 200 mL and\> 12% compared to the baseline after 4 weeks of treatment with oral corticosteroids
* OR a positive methacholine challenge: decrease in FEV1 by more than 20% for a dose \<1600 µg
