近年来，老年人群中哮喘患病率增加最多。哮喘可开始于任何年龄，当它发生在晚期而不是年轻时，它通常是非特应性的、严重的和持续的。不幸的是，老年人的具体指南是没有哮喘的诊断和治疗。然而，通过客观的监测，避免哮喘触发因素，适当的药物治疗和患者教育，可以成功地控制这种疾病。
The older population has seen the greatest increase in the prevalence of current asthma in recent years. Asthma may begin at any age and when it occurs at an advanced as opposed to a young age, it is often nonatopic, severe, and unremitting. Unfortunately, geriatric-specific guidelines are not available for the diagnosis and treatment of asthma. However, with objective monitoring, avoidance of asthma triggers, appropriate pharmacotherapy, and patient education, the disease can be managed successfully.
