摘要

Asthma is considered to be a problem of children and young adults but has more recently been recognized as a growing clinical problem in the elderly. Between 4% and 13?/o of adults older than 65 years are diagnosed with asthma [1]. Asthma in an older adult is the result either of childhood asthma that is long-lasting, or resurgence of quiescent childhood-onset asthma or late onset disease, In general, asthma in older adults is characterized by less IgE-mediated processes and more frequently by irreversible airway obstruction [2], due to airway remodelling and, sometimes, co-existing COPD and/or bronchiectasis. Thus an accelerated decline in lung function occurs in elderly asthmatics, mainly due to airway remodelling, especially in the small airways from inflammation that characterizes asthma.
